newb to cams/heads

i have never dealt with any internals, but on a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to install them if i had all corresponding components and appropriate tools.


is their any type of book or website that helps out with installation process??? i really really would not like to mess up and i would really like not having to take the engine to a shop or anything.. graduate high school in 1 1/2 months and going to UTI next year in hopes of opening a shop soon after so the more hands on the better..

also i dont want to wait to install them.. want to be able to drive to school the last week at least

This book might help.

Chilton's manual will also come in handy

I did my very first cam swap with only internet directions. With nobodies help I finished in about 10 hours because of stupid mistakes (getting half way through putting it back together and realizing I forgot the timing chain tensioner). This was in a GTP grand prix. It is MUCH easier in an f-body.
