The engine does not have to come out. Your engine will look like this though for a cam swap.

Click the cam swap in my sig.

It's a lengthy read, but it gives a run down of what's going on.

There is also a how to in the TBI sticky. It links Stekman's info as well. He has a solid run down in his. Good stuff.
