Default Heads/CAM question

How many of you guys installed these parts yourself? Would these books help?

If you can, I would get the book on the right.
I saw on HorsePower TV or some such, that the guy that wrote that book, is the guy that innovated dropping LS1's from the bottom as opposed to pulling them out the top.
I might ask for that book for christmas, ive also read on here its a "must have".

Me and Bluecat have done both of my h/c swaps. Not too hard, but I preferred to have his experience just to make sure I don't miss anything.

I did not use any books but i plan on getting the one on the right just for my information. ls1howto.com has all the instructions that you will need for a heads and cam swap. I just did mine last weekend it was not hard but time consuming. Good luck

The one on the right is the one you would want to use. Never hurts to have both however. Haynes manuals always have stuff that others don't.

I work at autozone and only got it for like 10$ lol. bastard. Good read. Good info, highly suggested that anyone reading this thread who doesnt have this book goes out to get it tonight. Buy yourself an early christmas present.

Did you do your own installs? If you did, how'd it go? Was in a PITA? I plan on installing my Heads/CAM whenever I get it
