Not that I know of. Are you completely in the dark about it or just have one or two questions to clear up?

I have never done them on an f-body. So I guess you could say I am. I done them on my Thunderbird SC I had, but did them at the same time I did headgaskets. I hear the pass. side would take a couple of hours and would be the easiest. The driverside would take longer and was a PITA to do.
