Both heads and intake can stay on the car. you need to remove only valve covers, rocker arms, pushrods, radiator/AC condensor/fan assembly, water pump, harmonic balancer, front cover.
There are some really good write-up's out there, if you want to try it yourself, it's really a pretty easy job, it kinda scared me at first.
Not really sure on what shops charge i think around $300-$400 ???

i have a few pics of mine on my site in sig...
but for a cam only install you just need to pull the valve covers, and stuff off the front of the engine(intake doesnt need to come off)
it can take from 3 hours up to 13 or so depending on tools and experience..
bascially its very easy! just time consuming and making sure you do it right
prices vary from 300 bucks up to 650 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
