Hey 99blackta, I don't know how to put the link in this reply...sorry, but goto page 2 for all these posts and about 10 threads down is a great write up on everything you need to know about changing your heads and cam in your car. It's subject line starts off with something like..new write up on h/c install. Check it out. Hope it helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

i installed heads and cam this past summer,and i did NOT pull the motor,drop any k-member or anything like that.i took off the power steerind,raidator,manifolds,ect.i then pulled the intake and worked my way down to the heads.i pulled off the front cover,timing chain(get a better timing chain while your in there)pulled the cam.it's not that bad to do it still in the car,it took me and a bud 20 or 22hrs to do it all.if you look on raughhammers (john campbell's) web page there is a set of step by step directions on it. good luck to ya man.

99blackta,it's a better feeling when you eat a zo6.zo6 owner's usually have big egos so it's great to smash them. but......if i cant find a zo6,then i'll settle for killing a 03 cobra. soon you will too. GOODLUCK TO YA MAN.

99BlackTA, glad the site was helpful. Thats what its there for!

T/ABlast69, the A/C doesn't have to be removed. I recommend it stay attached at all times.
