swap heads in car or pull motor for those of yall who have done it both ways, would you swap cylinder heads on a camaro with the motor in the car or would you drop the motor swap em and put it back?
i have access to a lift so dropping the motor isnt a problem but im wondering witch is a bigger pain in the ***?
probly swappin cams at the same time but not sure. im thinkin droppin the moter would be best to make it easy to swap it all, clay the pistons, check the pushrod lengths, etc.
any input?

droping makes it so much easier to work on, alittle more work alltogether, but the engine out of the car makes it worth it. wont have a sore back from leaning over the fender. wont have cuts all over you hands from the tight area's. alltogether alot less stress once its out. just make sure you dont yank any wires out. lift it very slow, so if anything catches you can see it. (the brake lines have alot they can catch on)
