Re: [Chevelle-list] 66 Chevelle Cam Swap

[Danny Wilsher]

Rob,     It is a piece of cake to swap the cam in this situation with out removing the motor. Remove distributor, intake, push rods, and lifters. Pull harmonic balancer, timing cover, and timing chain and gears. I always bolt the cam gear back on to help get the cam out with out scratching the cam bearings. You probably know all this, I was really just thinking out loud.... mostly....    ����� ..............  Wilsher Motor Sports ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob S.
