How long to .... Do a cam swap/valve spring swap? Ls1how to says 3-12 hours. I'm thinking it will take me about 3 times that long. Any experiences? Trying to decide if I should give a go or not. If it was a pushrod mustang I wouldn't be intimidated. The thing that concerns me the most is the valve springs. That seems like the hard part.

You need a tool for the springs and a couple dowel rods for the lifters. If you know what you are doing, I would say 6 to 8 hours should be about right. Maybe quicker for experts.
