really confused???? Ive been looking at Heads Cam and Intake packages for my car to be installed before this june.
my body guy, friend of the family since parents were in highschool.
I asked him about the install, labor and all that other fun stuff. He claimed that to install this on the ls1 you have to pretty much drop the "frame" with the engine and trans out from "under" the car. He claimed that its a hassle and everything.
long story short he said to do all that it be 5,000$ ???????????????
He builds his own cars one runs 10 secs. the other runs 9 sec. so he is knowledgeable and knows what to do.
Is it really this much and hard to install H C I

I have a lift so I dropped mine out the bottom.
6 bolts for the k-member, 6 for the struts, 4 for the trans cross member, some connectors and other stuff. Took about 2 hours, this was my first time.
If he wants that much it's because he doesn't want to do it. If he isn't into doing the job you don't want him working on the car.
If you can't do it yourself check with members in you local area for suggestions.
Good luck.

well working on a car is not a strong point. although ive learned more about how to work on my camaro and done more work on this then anyother car ii have owned. Being honest i dont feel confident enough to do h c i myself.. i had a buddy that did his own h c i but he moved sadly lol

it's just nuts and bolts. typically the hardest thing about a cam swap is setting the rockers. but if you keep the stockers all you have to do is torque them down.
