It isn't that hard Just time consuming.. I could give you some pointers if you attempted it yourself.. Our Frames are exactly the same.

different people has told me the same, i just wish i knew alittle bit of mechanic, i have helped do cam swaps, but i would never tackle a project like that by myself... and it would be a good learning experience but i really want it to get done right. lol..

There are enough aftermarket drop in pieces to make it fairly straight forward. Edelbrock F-body headers fit, there are motor mounts available and the wiring is pretty simple. As far as the trans cross member, slide it back or forward and drill a few holes in the frame..

If you have all the parts, It's as easy as a cam swap just more time consuming.
