Default How Much???

What's up guys just wondering how much is it to install a cam kit(kit includes cam,1.8roller rockers,pushrods etc) in a 98 ballpark range and what would be the price on headers install.

p.s. whats the time frame of the cam I believe headers 2-3hours.

big...sorry I can not give you a price quote but my bet would be in the 1000.00 plus neighborhood. It defiently takes much longer than two to three hours to swap the cam alone.

I believe i saw somewhere that they did the headers in about 3 hours i honestly have no idea.I'm really interested in a cam swap by a pro. Maybe i can get with some people and swap headers.

What you saw was probably shorty headers. I could probably change out a set a B&B headers (now that I've done it once) in three hours but LTs are a different story. The shorties just slide right into place from the top. Sorry I can't help with the original question.
