Lol, nooooo thx. Isn't one recommended tho?Hell no, not pulling another trans. I mean, I’ll buy one if you wanna come vacay in Oregon and install it for me.....

Yeah, recommended but not required. Any time you do a cam a stall is recommended in order to get the most out of it. I’m not even really going to drive this thing fast, just want a nice sound especially at idle. It’s not like The Beast where I would drive it like I stole it. It’s a different kind of rig.

I've been eyeing those. Looking forward to your assessment- uninstalling the stock bearings, installing the bushings, etc.

I did a Crane Cams trunion kit on the rockers in The Beast and it was fairly easy using a bench vise and a couple of the correct size sockets to press them out and back in. I ended up selling them after I bought the Yella Terras. I have heard the Crane kit isn’t the best though and Smith Brothers seems to be the go-to kit atm.

I figure these would be something like that.

Parts starting to come in for the cam swap. First is the big ass harmonic balancer bolt.

I know. I don’t remember what I used for the one on my Denali but I must have borrowed a torque wrench from Oreillys because mine doesn’t go that high.250 ft lbs is a fun spec on that bolt

Well the cam and headers are on hold while I take care of the trans on The Beast. I did get the cluster back today from programming and I did the final mods on the bezel and mounted everything. It looks good; there’s a small spot at each side where I couldn’t get the bezel that I built look perfect but it’s pretty damn close. Now I’m gonna install the bed so I can drive it.

So, like magic, you get them close together and they mate, just like that! Awesome!
