Experience needed, Easy install??
Experience needed, Easy install?? I plan on doing a cam swap with supporting mods and also an intake swap. I have LT headers. I also want to do heads at the same time. How hard is it to change heads without removing the engine? Anyone with experience got any tips?
It took me and my brother a week, but we cleaned every thread and chased them with a tap. I've heard of guys doing it in 3 days...I think if you did a few you could make that timelinem, but first time I would plan a week. We also installed the longtubes and did a rear end swap.
It's a 1,000 minor details, but nothing really hard. Just take your time and follow the Howto. They're not perfect, but they sure are helpful. I think on the SS you can remove the cowl where the wipers are? The worst thing I ran into was the little sharp fasteners for the hood seal. They're like razorblades and slice your hands up when working under the cowl.

Dude, that whole job shouldn't take more than a day. Even if you're taking your time. With two people it should be even faster. Just take your time and don't rush anything
We did ring and pinion, long tubes, heads and cam in 6 days. It was slow, but PTV was measured accurately, all electrical connections were cleaned and lubed with dielectric grease. All bolts had their threads cleaned on a wire wheel and all bolt holes were cleaned and chased with a tap. Every fitting the GM put on the car was back on when we were done. So no speed records were broke, but it was a great week.
I already have the LT's installed. I'll just be swapping the cam, LS6 ported oil pump, springs and such and also installing a SSF 3500 stall and tranny cooler. How many hours will installing heads add?

dude, if you're doing a cam and stall, just drop the K member, it'll be way easier! Lift the car up over the K member and engine and while you're at it knock out the motor mounts.
