Default Cam change time, what's involved?

Just wondering what you need to remove to get at the cam on the Corvette. I have done many Camaro cam swaps but it looks like the Corvette is more difficult because of the steering rack. I figure the rack must be removed as well as the radiator. Thanks,

Paul J.

Just one other thing you should know (you may already). The cam bearing are all the same size in the 'Vette blocks; earlier Chevy small blocks had slightly larger bearings at the front. Therefore, be verrrry careful when inserting the cam, 'cause it is easier to damage the bearing surfaces.
