Here's a guide from Shoebox: http://shbox.com/ci/cam_removal.html

That's the cam removal guide, scroll down a bit and you'll see a table full of items for the swap. The follow on is the install.

Should give you an idea of what's involved. Good fun

 

In addition to the cam kit, I replaced the timing chain and cam/crank gears ($150 for stock replacement), programming from Alvin at pcmforless ($150), miscellaneous parts I broke, plugs and wires ($70), gasket kit ($35), and some other stuff I can't think of off hand right now

 

I ordered a stock GM replacement timing chain but I didn't know it was also a good idea to replace the cam & crank gears also.

BTW Did you buy new lifters or did you use your stock ones (if so how many miles on them)?

PS sorry for hijacking the thread

 

its ok
