Well I finally pulled the trigger and decided it was time put in a CAM. Went with the Moes Performance track plus camshaft kit. Shout out to Moes performance everything was packed very nice and arrived within 2 days from Texas with free shipping. [emoji106]

omg hurry up, hurry up.

What do you have for exhaust? any headers or anything?

These trucks just sound terrifying with a big lopey cam. Looking at yours its not that big. but should still give the Hemi a nice chug at idle

I'm okay at doing some mechanical stuff.. I'm always wanting to learn how to do something and never afraid to try it myself. I changed my 3.55 gears out to 4.10's myself (took me a month lol) but nothing is impossible as long as your willing to take your time and are a patient.

But my father-n-law has built race cars and swapped cams out so figured it wouldn't hurt to have a second set of hands. Plus it'll be cool to build the truck with him..

I'm in Bartow County, GA so not too far off from you. Maybe I can give you some pointers after we get it done?

Yes, have to pull the heads to get the lifters out. Pull the pushrods & it may be possible to spin the cam to get lifters to stay up. But I wouldn't chance it on hoping they stay put.
