Is it possible to swap cams ion a 3rd gen (firebird) with out completely pulling the motor? I know the radiator would have to come out but will there be enough room to get the cam out and back in? is it possible to undo the motor mounts and tilt the motor enough to get the cam in/out?

 

Yes...no need to remove the motor mounts.

 

so... just pull the radiator and slide the cam out?

 

Well, the condensor is in the way also. If you don't have an AC, this shouldn't be a problem. Not sure if you can swing it out of the way without discharging the system if you do.

Cool thank you. it has ac that doesn't work so discharging/ completely removing it cause this is my wanna be race car and race cars even wanna be race cars don't have ac cause it adds weight and is useless anyway won't be a problem : ).

 

You'll also have to move the radiator cross support bar. I found that just bending it gave enough room for the cam to slide out. This bar is directly in front of the cam (vertical one). Makes life alot easier.

 

Yup.

 

cool. thanks agian
