pretty much all it takes are basic hand tools aside a gear puller, torque wrench, and spring compressor, all which can be bought reasonably or rented from a local parts store. ls1howto.com has the how to article, with pics, for a cam/spring swap. it has a complete tool list and torque specs. you can do it, i don't know you, but i've got faith in you

thanks man i just dunno if i have the time willing to spend sitting in the driveway doing this. i guess it just depends on how much money im willing to save for the time im willing to lose with the woman before i leave for college

spend time with the woman. truck stuff will come. you'll have plenty of time at college. find a few gear heads and have them help you. hell, get in good with the automotive department and use their facilities and tools.

yea thats what i was thinkin, ill accumulate all the parts here at home and bring them up with me. im gonna try to come back most weekends but during the week ill be bored so it will give me something to do. i still have tme to install stuff like my transmission cooler and soon a remote filter with temp gauge and plug wires but the big stuff will wait. i can handle the truck still being in the low 14's for a little longer...good call with the auto department though. ill have to loook into it
