Is it possible to change the cam with the head still on the car?
If it is I'll put the C2 cam in before I build the 2.7 :drive:
If not I won't :D

Can be done from what I gather but involves lifting the front of the engine and then fiddling with all the rockers whilst being careful not to hit a piston with a valve.

Wouldn't it be easier to whip all the rockers and rocker shafts out and then change it?
Cheers for the reply
