Heads/Cam Swap Help

Whats up guys. This summer I plan on doing a head and cam swap in my car, around mid to late july. I was wondering if there are any guys in the CT, MA, NY area that would be willing to help when I decide to do this. I'm very mechanically inclined, but I would really like some help on this job.

For a small fee I could help since it will take 2 days if you do not have a lift

I'll definitly take you up on that offer. You have done this install before? 2 days, no lift? How about lunch, all the beer u can drink and $50? And if you need a place to crash for the night since it's a 2 day job.

Just have them deliver one of the beer-trucks right to where we do it anyhow, you do have a garage at least right and when did you want to start???

Make sure you have all the gaskets; a torque wrench; a couple tubes of blue silicon gasket maker; a quiet place to scream obsenities in case it doesn't go as planned; a fuel disconnect tool;
obviously tools; if not I have about 4 boxes full; 2 jacks and band-aids

I would do the job at my buddies house. He has ever Snap On tool known to man. He has torque wrench, jack stands, air tools, maybe a fuel line tool but I might have to buy/rent one. I am going to make a check list of everything I will be needing for the job. My plan is to do the swap late july, early august.

PM me with what you plan on putting in it i.e cam/heads Air! EGR! e.t.c and I can let you know exactly what you will need, maybe even save you some money on what you need i.e head gaskets I get for half what they want in most stores as well as other gaskets. I also have quite a bit of leftover parts from my swap that just take space in my eyes.. PM me and we can go from there.....
