Chances are you are going to have to change springs, with a cam swap. Still not a bad job, took about 5 hours going slow.

There are alot of things we dont want to do but have to in order to do it right. Just do the PR's and springs. A little more work now saves you double in the end when your picking pieces up out of the oil pan.
