Default Installing a Cam

I'm new to all of this upgrading stuff. I have a 2000 T/A WS6, I was wondering how do you install the cam, can you get to it all from the front or do you recommend the engine out to work on it. Probably such an easy question to all of you as you have probably done it many times before.

Any info would be helpful, thanks

Install is done w/ engine still in. There's some instructions @ ls1info.com on cam installs.

Thanks for all your advice, glad it can be done without removing the engine. All the articles are so in depth. I'm in England UK, so I'm pretty much on my own over here, no service station will want to even touch this car.

Thanks again for the cam install links.

How much is petrol (gas) per non-Imperial gallon in your country? (We don;t understand metric measures like liters)

...an LS1 must be expensive to operate; hope you don;t drive much or are wealthy...

$1.65-1.85 a gallon for 93 octane (in Miami).
Gas is cheap in the states. We go to war over gas!
