Default First day on cam swap..edit done...Tr224
Putting a TR224 on 112 in it. Man the worst part so far was the harmonic balancer bolt! Thought I was going to break something! Finally got it off and got all the rockers off also. Tomorrow I hope goes smoothly and get the cam in. Hoping for some good numbers!

Are you going to put the stock balancer back on or put an underdrive on it?

no, getting the bal. on and off is the worst part imo. always worried of pulling the threads out. followed by swapping the springs oncar. that sucks and takes for ever.

I wouldnt reuse the balancer bolt, its a torque-to-yield type and it takes around 150 lb ft. There only made to be torqued once.
