yeah man, chris seems tight as hell. also though, tons of write ups. TCs are nothing tough at all. and a cam is just as easy, as long as you do not rush it. make sure everything is greased and tightened down to specs. nothing hard, just need to be careful. have done both quite a few times. and you also get to say YOU DID IT YOURSELF!!!!

that will work! trust me, i love saying that i did this **** myself. it helps prep you for future projects and you learn so much from doing **** yourself, or even watching, it is incredible. I started watchin people work on cars from 9 to 11, then i started turning wrenches when i was 12, by starting my first build up, a 72 for bronco.

just remember, if you took it off, you can put it back together. it is scary, but just start with little things to build your confidence, and then work up. when i did my first motor build, i was so afraid after i dropped it in the car when i would turn the key, a huge fireball would blow up, or some crazy ****!

but if you want to hang out with some LS1 car guys near you, come to our site..www.kyfbodies.org.......just dont bring the **** talking with you, there is a lot of good guys near you with alot of killer cars.
