Default Head and Cam swap

Just curious if anyone has ever done a head and cam swap without pulling the motor? It definatly looks like it would be a lot easier to pull the engine to do it...but don't have a lift or the proper place to do it. Thanks for the input guys.

My buddy has done one on his Z with the motor still in. Also my other buddy just bought a H/C set and he's doing it himself, and I also plan on doing it without pulling the motor. It would be easier to pull the motor but would take a BUNCH OF TIME. Thats saying if you have a lift in your driveway.(most don't) Unless your rebuilding the motor its not necessary to pull the motor. Hope this helps. Later.

It's not as bad as it looks. Takes a little more time the first time.

His question is can it be "done", and be the looks of your pictures your not.... well, "done". j/k Truth is it can be "done", but it’s a lot easier with the motor dropped or completely out.
