the intake "install" consists of a couple quick connect fittings, a few electrical connections and 8 bolts. its really one of thoes things that ANYONE, even midly mechanicly inclined, should be able to do. there isnt even a gasket envolved. (not counting the rubber rings on the coolent lines) you should find a friend to help ya with it.... if you dont know anyone local, try www.easternfbody.com ... SOMEONE there should help ya...



anyhoo, to answer your question... no. the intake does not have to come off on these motors to do a cam swap.
