When are you going to start the install? I can swing by and offer some assistance.

It's not the easiest while the motor is in the car but it can be done. The part that is really hard is keeping everything clean during the installation. These motors are usually filthy and you want to keep the cam and bearing surfaces spotless. Do you have a cam handle? Pulling the old one out and putting the new one in is easy. Just all about lining things back up on the install.

I get my parts from whoever has the best deal. You can buy a cam handle new for like 25$ out of summit.

no it was a 95, there is still one spark plug that is almost impossible to get to and tightening the passenger side y pipe connection will make you want to burn the car. A buddy and i spent 8 hrs of pure hell putting these on. Maybe the kit for the 96 is better, but i would ask a few opinions about it first.
