F8L GT Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Starting my cam swap tonight, or should I say preparing fir my cam swap. Going to get everything ready so when the cams are here I can pop them in. Also going to paint the cam covers and JLT mineral gray. And do some clean up.

F8L GT Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think Im going to get another case of OCD doing the cam swap. Lots of dirt and things that can be cleaned up. Only if I had enough time and patience to do a wire tuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 How many times have you dropped the F bomb so far? I want to do cams, but it looks like a total pain in the a** on a mod motor.
