Default Installing cam in 2000 Z-28

Need instruciton/advice on installing a cam in a 2000 Z-28 (auto, coupe). I will use the stock lifters, but will be replacing a B1 cam with a X1 cam (built motor my MTI). What tools and gaskets, fluids, etc will I need for the change? I assume I can do this by removing radiator and front "stuff" with motor in car. All input and insights from those that have done this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do a search and you can find a complete cam swap guide, its perfect. Picture by picture details, I used it when I did my cam swap, took me about 5 hours to swap it out, without air tools, it was surprisingly easy. Ill look around for it if you dont find it.

thanks for the info....ifI elect to have the cam installed for me, what would be a "normal" price for a cam swap, from a dealership?
