Re: Average cost for cam install?

Does that include evacuating and recharging the A/C or do they get around removing the condenser?

Re: Average cost for cam install?

I got my Cam ONLY installed for 150$. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I had already had springs, retainers, pushrods, etc...installed. Yes this did include everything, i.e. ac charged, and such... (i brought my own gaskets)

the same guy charges 350$ for a complete cam swap, meaning springs, retainers, pushrods, etc....

out in so cal, i've seen them as low as 150 and as high as 900$...just gotta shop around..

good luck

Cheapest I've seen during a sale $350.00

Average is closer to $500.00

These prices also include a valve spring swap.
