A LOT of people on this board have done them. There are several writeups around the internet with step by step instructions on how to do it. Someone might have a link.

for the first time id be prepared to spend 3 days on it... because i think it will be very lengthy and youll have to be patient.
good luck!

I think the Cam swap itself is easy. Here are some examples of what not to do, from a board member's mechanic.

It's not technically hard- just time consuming. The important thing is to read as much as possible and have all the right tools. Read the ls1howto writeup and read as many posts on the subject as possible. And don't skimp on the tools! It will cost you but it will be worth it.
