how much does it cost to buy a cam and have it installed?

 

Absolutely impossible for anyone to answer that question, without knowing the specific engine you are asking about. Tell us about the engine, and I'll move your post to the correct forum.

 

That's too advanced for this section!

 

 

A shelf grind roller cam is ~$250. A new cam will need new springs which can cost anywhere from $100-500. Other parts such as retainers, rocker arms, etc. may be needed as will gaskets, etc. Labor will vary a lot depending on the make and model and year and labor rate. That's why there is no simple answer. A 4th, for example, is not easy to work on. A cam replacement is a full days work. So, multiply the labor rate in your area by 8-10 hours and add parts. In my area the only guy you would want to do it is ~$90/h. So, a ballpark for a stock LT1 including a set of roller rockers would be close to $2,000.

1000-2000k you can prob get it done for 1200-1500 somewhere and be fine. depends on if youll need the rockers

 

id guess about 1500 plus parts..

unless your totally useless when it comes to cars, do some research and do it yourself
