cam install $$$$$$
im needing a cam install in the twin-cities area. im been quoted $1500 and $2700. now way in hell im paying that. for that price id rather sell my truck and buy one already cammed. just wondering who had their camshaft installed by someone else,if so what is everyone paying?
before anyone asks....its below freezing here, i dont have a garage, and i rarely have any time off work-so no i cannot install it myself.

Keep looking around and make sure the shop you go with has done a swap in these GenIII engines. Good luck!

I gave up finding a shop to do it and ended up doing mine myself after asking lots of questions and doing a lot of reading.
Feel free to contact me (email) as I also live in MN and might be able to help you out.
