I need volunteers to help me with cam install

My parents were kind enough to send me some of my parts left over from my old 99 GT, in the box is my stock PI cams and I have decided that I want to put them in the 98 for a little boost until I can the motor done. But I need a good place and some hands to help me do it. Anybody game? Did I mention beer/pizza will be on me? :^drunk^:

i'd help, but i don't know the first thing about it!

We can Do it at the Mike Stroud Mustang clinic!!

Be thankfull you don't have to degree them...

I can throw them in for you in a few hours. PM me.

You should take a trip up to Michigan to do mine! lol Do you think I really need to pay my machine shop to degree my 2.5 blower cams? They want to charge me 200-300. Or can I install them just like regular cams? Cushman says "it would be best if" but didn't elaborate. Worst thing in the world would be to loose 10hp from such an expensive mod.

There is no need to degree them. The cushman cams are designed to be installed straight up. Degreeing them is only good for moving the powerband up or down. They are not like the crapy comp cams that have to be degreed just to clear the pistons.

As always, You're always my Tech hero.

Well crap! I took a good look at the cams and they are pretty tore up, looks like my brother got ahold of them and used them god knows what. I really want to find a set of PI cams to put in, so anybody here knows where there are a couple let me know. Otherwise this will have to wait until I can find some. Thanks for the offer of help Oxford I will get with you when I get this squared away and ready to do it.

I have a set of PI cams out of a motor I just finished building.

Dang that is lucky, how much do you want for them?

$40. They are windsor cams so they have the pressed on cam gears.

Snag those up!

You got yourself a deal, when do you want to do this? And what all am I going to need to install these (other than gaskets)? :^drunk^:

Give me a time and date and I will meet you. No new gaskets needed.

Will saturday work for you? And your still down to help me put these in right, last cam I did was in my old Fox, I had a shop do my last mod motor cam install (I had phear of the mod motor LOL).

I'll do it but this is my side job and my wife won't let me do free work. I used to do free work all the time but when I needed help from others noone was there so she makes me stick by this.

A mod motor is easier to work on then a push rod it just takes more time to get things done

Ok so what would I be looking at, I want to learn how to do it honestly so I expect to wrench as well. But if you have to charge let me know how much and we will work out the details.

$200 with you helping, $300 on my own.

OK that will work I will buy the cams this week and we can install them next weekend. PM me your contact info so we can meet up and I can get the cams. I'm gonna try and scavenge an intake so I can do it at the same time. Thanks alot man.

Too bad I just sold my last PI intake to ljwhite174. I'll see what I can dig up for you.
