Install times question

Would like to know roughly how many hours are required for install of heads, cam, and headers. Air conditioner has already been removed and will not be replaced. This assumes a professional install by an experienced mechanic in a properly equipped shop.

I'd say 10-12 hours would be what a shop would charge. If they'd done it before, they could probably do it all in 8 or so.

Re: Install times question

Depends on the shop really. There is a widely known shop down here that charges 10 hrs for a cam swap alone. Other shops charge 12 hrs for an entire build up. The best thing to do is research and do some homework. Find out who is experienced with LS1's, and talk to them about a price.

FYI, I have done everything you listed above in just under 15 hrs in my personal garage, without air tools, and no lift.
