If I were to do a cam swap with the engine in, would the cam clear the radiator or would the engine have to be lifted some?
Thx

It may depend on which engine you have...if it's a V8, you will have to remove the radiator and the 'X' braces in front of it, and position the AC condenser to the side (if so equipped)...not sure if the V6 will leave enough room or not....haven't done one on those engines.
