Cams Job Cost?
I've seen some mentions of high cost for the project.
Does anyone have cost estimates on the labor? Can it be done engine in the car? Is this a DIY (plug and play) or must be professionally done? Besides that results? Also the same for pistons and rods if any. |

I would give a few of the sponsors on this site a call and get a quote from them.
ive changed 100's of cams in LSx model vehicles but never done one on a LT1.with that being said if you have mechanical skills you can swap out a cam with the engine in your car. hopefully next year I will throw a cam in my car. |

Those are v8 prices. He has i4, will be significantly cheaper.
But internet prices are not going to help you, call some local places. Nothing magical to it about our engines, should be relatively quick job. |

There are hidden bolts and near impossible bolts to get to on the back of that valve cover and for the vacuum pump.. it is a nightmare to pull that valve cover
