Default Things to do while radiator is out

My radiator has a leak; so in the very near future I will be pulling it out for replacement. Just wondering what else should I do while the radiator is out. For example, replace timing chain; install hotcam, etc.

What is the advantage of going to an electric waterpump. I don't go to the track, so is that worth it? Seems to be a lot of work; fabricating and all. Also, is installing a cam as easy as it appears (i.e., while the timing chain is accessed, just pull the cam out and slide the new one in).

TIA

easy
SYLLABICATION: eas·y
ADJECTIVE: Inflected forms: eas·i·er, eas·i·est
1. Capable of being accomplished or acquired with ease; posing no difficulty: an easy victory; an easy problem.
2. Requiring or exhibiting little effort or endeavor; undemanding
3. Free from worry, anxiety, trouble, or pain: My mind was easy, knowing that I had done my best. :skep:

How soon do you want to be back on the road? If not many miles and not going to race then I'd leave it alone on a LT4.
If you see visual thing then go for it.:thumbs:

BTW, My taxes were easy...didn't lie.:skep:
