Cam Install

I am looking to get a xe 230/236 installed in my car. Around how much would it cost to get it installed professionally?
Any help would be appreciated

yeah you're looking at anywhere from 500 to 1000 for the install, depending on the hours, who supplies the gaskets and fluids, etc

its free if you do it yourself. I am no mechanic or anything and i managed to do it w/o any major issues. Just hang around the bord, ask some questions and go for it yourself!!

Yeah I'll be willing to help...post on the Mich. board like trey said and set something up. Us Michigan guys want everyone in Michigan to have a fast *** camaro to stomp ricers and stangs with (not that we need cams for ricers anyways).

So when I want my cam swapped all I have to do is stop by with the parts and a bucket or two of KFC? that's a deal!

Don't let trey help... He'll probably drop a chicken bone in through the lifter holes ...
