Cam - look at abbot racing heads NA (if your staying NA) $300 ish
gasket kit $45-50
springs - $130 (130lb)
retainers - $100
spring compressor -$30 (or rent)
timing chain (double roller) $160
lifters - $130
push rods - $90

odds and ends = $200 (just in case) includes
oil change
coolant
bolts (cam and crank)
brake cleaner
sealant for lower intake bolts.

Re: cam choices????

Well this is the cam im incline for
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy L36 Cam 2. From 3800performance.com
I will also get the Cam Kit
A mechanic close home will do the job for $400. I think that sounds reasonable.
What do you guys think???

If I wasn't so persistent to do everything to my own car, yeah I would pay 400 for someone to install a cam.

the only real part is linein up the timing dots and remove the cam and NOT turning the motor over....

install the cam and timing set then turn motor over 2 times it should line back up

That'd be too easy, and how accomplished would you feel when ya get it done? I've successfully changed a timing chain by just winging it. Don't wing this though, learn about degreeing and just go at it. Double check everything before you put all your covers back on and fire it up.
