Well a cam is usually around 300-400 dollars all depending...

The valvetrain package is around $350 for pushrods, valvesprings, retainers....

An average cam install should be about $300

I think I'm wrong on the install, but they did it all for me back in the day for $1100-1200 bucks installed

Still not a bad deal...

The guy I talked to said it would be $600 and I thought that was kind of high. Hopefully I can someone to do it for around $350. That would be nice.
