Default everything needed for cam swap?

<img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> I am planning on doing my first cam swap and I was wondering what tools and gaskets I am going to need ( I am getting hotcam) also, can I use stock lifters? any help would be appreciated

Do a search on "cam install". That should fix you up.

Thunder Racing Look near the bottom of the page at "Gaskets & Installation Components". They have a pretty cheap kit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Whats the deal, I swear this is the 3rd time I've seen this question asked today. I'm gonna start putting the search page URL in my sig

To answer, you need 2 waterpump bolts, 2 AIR tube gaskets, a crank pulley bolt, and a front seal. The part #'s are all on my website.
