Default First cam install done: clips inside

Completed my first cam install this past Thursday. All in all went very well. Cam is a Lunati 222/230 .534/.544 114. PRC dual springs and TSP stock length pushrods. We used the TDC method to do the springs. Definately the way to go. Here are a couple crappy clips.

First start up. Untuned

I took it really slow and easy. This car is not my daily driver. Spent about 2 hours a day tearing it down. Took about 2 days plus another couple hours getting the stupid paper gasket off the water pump and block. A couple hours getting the cam in and lined up. Springs were very easy. Had them done in about 2 hours working with a buddy. Spent about 2 putting it all back together again. All in all the car was out of commission for about a week and a half. We took it really slow and easy though. Lots of beer breaks.
