Cam swap budget
How much does it cost for a shop to swap a camshaft start to finish? I need some numbers to budget for my swap. I need numbers for both types of swaps and replacing all the parts, roller cam to roller cam and roller cam to flat tappet cam cost. I intend to replace with a complete cam kit with all the parts from the cam to valve seals.

Re: Cam swap budget
Unfortunately, that is a completely subjective question!
You must actually ask the local shops in your area what they charge for this. You need two prices: Labor only if you bring the parts and complete price if they sell you the parts. Sometimes a shop will charge time and a half if you bring your own parts.
You can't even get in the ballpark without doing it yourself. Your range is basically from 500 dollars up to the sky (no limit)
