I won't have a problem doing the engine swap, that's fairly straight forward. I asked if Beau could help me with the cam swap since he's done a couple and I'd just like to have a little guidance on that part of it.

I hope you pick up some cam educations like I am. That's one aspect I'm a little uniformed about, but I'm getting there

hope i somewhat explained it to where you dont get all confused

The DCR, what good does knowing that spec do? What's the purpose of that calculation?

Worry not brother, It will be simple as pie. I just wish i could change my valvesprings on the engine stand.
We'll get you all buttoned up with somethin fat and nasty.

Have fun dropping the motor in. Try not to crack the pump when getting the flexplate in the bellhousing. If gas wasnt so expensive I would drive down to Houston and lend an experienced engine swap hand but at 3 bucks a gallon

Yup put a jack under the front of the pan and jack it up as high as you can without crushing the pan the set the motor on down in there with the rear tilted down. You might want to buy a couple of big pry bars
