If anyone in the Atlanta area needs help with their cam , I don't mind doing the install. I helped someone in this thread do his for the price of beer! :cheers:

Hell, if you'd want to come on by and throw out pointers when I do my H/C swap you can have all the beer you can drink. Probably gonna do it here in a few weeks.

Still need to get an ORY, timing chain, oil pump, gaskets
