OMG......i think i might be in a lil over my head on this one.....I got my cam for 112 dollars. How much more money will i need to spend to put it in do u think?

Did you get lifters with it for that price? You will need them.

You also need a set of intake gaskets, fuel pump gasket,valve cover gaskets, a timing chain cover gasket and seal kit (Might come with water pump gaskets, I don't remember...), and an oil pan gasket. Also some RTV and some gasket cement. Did I miss anything?

Maybe another $50 or $75 if you have the lifters, and reuse the pushrods.

Somebody help me out if I forgot anything, or if I guesstimated the price of the parts incorrectly.
