i was stopped at a stoplight, there was a 04ish mustang gt in front of me. i wasnt messin with him or anything, but thought it would be fun to run him. as the light turn green he gets on it some, so i jump on it too. he pulls out in front about 60ft. he sees me get on it and lays into it all the way. i hit second and start closing the gap with easy, by the time i hit third im about 10ft off of his rear bumper and there is another light coming up. i got the run to pass but im already doin 80mph in a 55 and the town im bout to enter is horrible for cops, so i back it down. get to the light and pull up beside the gt and the look on the driver's face is epic wtf kind of look. i start rofling, it was great. just figured id share.

Quick question... Does anyone know of any sites that has a "how to" install guide to changing a cam in these motors... I've been doing alot of thinking and i think i could do it myself (i have all the tools cause my dad has a shop for working on Semi's) so i think I could do this cam swap myself when it comes in... and yes, im still waiting for it (dont go there...)
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

the foose wheels that i sold were powder coated after being acid dipped, and it still pitted more under the powder coat and ended up flaking the powder coat off around the hoop. id buy them back and fix them now, but one of them has a jacked up rim, like un-repairable jacked up.

everything is pretty much the same, make sure to pull the radiator and jack the truck up enough to drop the a/c condinser (sp?) down out of the way. so that when you slide the cam out of the motor you dont have to worry bout anything. do a search on here for cam swap before you dive in to get a better idea of tips and tricks guys on here use.
installing a ls2 double timing chain set would also be some cheap insurance too. i think tsp has them pretty cheap.
TIP: when you turn the cam to stick the lifters in their trays, due to mileage, they may not stay up. one member used those magnet on a stick and stuck them down through the push rod hole, he got 16 of them from the dollar store or something to hold the lifters up.
so, ah, what happened to aug. 3 delivery date?????? jfwy

installing the cam, would depend on what your tuner could do over the winter. if your getting a dyno tune and have to go to a shop you may be able to get a cheaper rate on the tune. if its a mail order you might have some problems with cold weather, its hard to say.
at this point you have waited this long, i would cancel my order, get a refund and find someone to cut a cam for my setup. but thats me. good luck with getting your cam soon.
