ne1 knows how hard a Cam install would be ? or has done one with a 3.8 V6......Im doing a 8.8 rear swap hopefully this week....with some UPR upper and lower control arms.....the car is also being dropped 2inches.....after that I wanna go into the internals.....I want at least 300rwhp on motor or close to it...then it'll probably be sprayed from their

Depends on if your swapping the valve springs out at the same time. This isn't something that I have done, but it is easier to do this if your not swapping the valve springs out at the same time.

yeah but to my understanding it will help with a mild cam...so I know it gets more complicated....I saw a thread where i guy does a V6 cam with the engine still in the car....just took a lot of shit off it....just wanted to know how long it took and the gain they got from it

well he also replaced the valve springs to heavier ones, and that took him 15+ hours aside from where he lost one of the parts and had to wait a day to get a replacement for it.

Not the easiest job in the world. Def. an all day job. You are going to have to strip your motor down to the block. It will take you 15-18 hours to do properly. When I did mine, It took me about 30 hours (but I was doing a lot more than just the cam). I would honestly get a Haynes Manual and check out the "tech" section on www.supersixmotorsports.com they have very basic pictured instructions on how to do it. Good Luck.

You don't have to break the block down that much. You can put cylinder one to TDC, remove the timing chain, slide the cam out, and put the new one in. It's a little more indepth than that, but you can do it that way.
