My 318 poly 4 barrel swap project is finally about half way through. Engine is stripped down and 2bbl intake and valve covers are off, but I've complicated things a little now. I found a company that custom grinds performance cams for the 318 Poly and I have purchased one, as well as new, slightly stiffer valve springs and lifters which should all arrive in the mail tomorrow. My question is how difficult is it to replace the cam with the engine in the car? I've pulled all front accessories including the radiator (as I found the water pump bearings sound bad so I'm replacing that too)...I'm figuring with everything off now except the engine front cover, this is probably the ideal time to drop the cam in. Having never actually installed one myself before, I am a little concerned that I'm getting in this a little too deep and wonder if I should let a pro install it? How badly could I possibly screw it up??!!...
