Started on my swap today. Got everything out the radiator fans waterpump etc... Pulled valvecovers off got the new springs in (waiting for new rods) Project on hold until friday. Will be completed sat. Custom tune on monday. One question do you need to pull the A.C. cooler to swap cams or just unbolt it and move it out of the way a little for the clearance. Keep you updated.

 

no need to unhook the AC- just move the condensor.

What hood is that on your truck? Nice stuff.

 

Thanks I was just wondering. It is a goodmark 2' cowl. Hey I see where you are from ,I lived in Fredericksburg Va 2 years ago grew up in Woodbridge Va

 

on the 6 cam swaps ive done ive never pulled the condensor..ir your using the water pumps bolts to pull the cam out just pull the bolts out when you get to the condensor..

 

I didn't touch my condensor when I did my cam swap, had just enough clearance...not sure if the 03's and up are different though.

 

Ohh YEA I have an 05 I measured the cam lenght it comes to 19 and around1/4" From the block to condensor measures 19 1/2" approx on both I'll probably try without touching it see how it goes. Thanks for everyones input if you have any more tips let me know.

 

I put a cam in an 04 without touching the condenser or the front grill for that matter. Just be slow and take your time. It should have plenty of clearance.
