I am right in the middle of my cam swap on my Vette (there is a thread on it in the Corvette section). I am doing heads/cam swap as well so mines even more intensive. Please set-out at least a week to do it and make sure you have everything you need right there with you. Make sure to take frequent breaks to relax and not get mad. You can get it just make sure you have the tools and a good buddy to help you out.

I've been working on mine 2-3 hours a day unfortunately my friends aren't into cars as much as I am so I am going solo.

Make sure you have ALL the tools you need and take your time. I did mine by myself over a four day holiday without any problems. Take the time and read a few threads where people have problems, then take extra care (i.e. not stripping out the threads on the crank shaft.) or have a back up plan.
Good luck!!
