I just got quoted $750 from a very reputable shop while I was looking for someone to do my cam install.

I have decided to go with someone i found on this board though and he is going to do all of the same labor for 450.

Depending on how much it costs, I am going to try it myself. I'm not the handiest person but I can generally figure things out! You should try it yourself and if you have any questions, you can always contact your brother!

Its not hard, doing my cam/springs/pump was the first thing i ever did to a car, the worst part was getting that freakin' pulley off, cause the flywheel spins on the auto when you try to unbolt it, i ended up heating it up with a torch to loosen the stock locktite, and air tools and it came off
