Hey Folks,
I just scored a new (older but never installed) Crane Cams camshaft at roughly half price and an NOS FoMoCo steel shim head gasket so I'm going to go ahead and have the cam changed. I'm not into messing around with serious mechanical work quite yet, but one of the mechanics I have do work for me might let me help (ie watch). My engine is a '66 200, and I have a '77 250 cylinder head.
My question is what other parts should I buy so that I have everything in place for the swap? Lifters, cam bearings, etc. Do I need a new timing chain? What other gaskets should I get other than the head gasket?
Thanks in advance for the help,
CC
