you no worry then man
changing cam wont be tricky. when you're removing the damper you'll need proper tools for that. i didn't have the tool once i was swapping heads and cam for 4.3 and it took some time to get dampa out. everything else would be just perspiration. well, oil pan/chain cover combination with new gaskets can be also kinda tricky.hope you let us know how Camaro run with brand new cam
good luck,
-P

Well the plenum,runners, alternator, distributor, radiator, and a few other little things are out. Tonight I hope to have the old cam out and the new cam in, then friday night I will be putting the whole thing back together. God i hope it was worth this

Holly Chit!!
Good thing I decided to put in a 'performance' cam, SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OF THE OLD ONE. Two missing lobes and the bottom of all the lifters were mushrooming, harder than hell to get out of the holes, but today the new one slides in and she goes back together. (hopefully)
