. Realistically, these motors aren't that bad to work on though. There are some incredibly knowledgeable guys on CF and you have lots of resources so you should be just fine.

If you doing just Cam than look Fbody Cam and valve sping install as well, and than come down at C5:head cam install and look for how to remove rack (for some it was a pain in **** but since iam a mechanic and had no trouble at all just need 18mm flare socket W/long 15-20" extesion, once crack loose than you can use reguler combination wrench. dont move completely just push on passenger side.
If you remove the hood than it makes lot easier, just mark fine sharpe or paint mark right beside hood bolts before remove hood, this way lot easier to install and dont have to align.
ask any question if you need to, its a lot of work but doable.
