Call a couple of shops and see what charge for a cam swap on a 4.7L. A lot more than $300.00 I promise. In VA we couldn't find a shop that would do it for less than $1,200.00 or so.

You could charge more than $300 then and it would still be worth the drive and price!

I think 300$ is good as long as I get an assist. A couple of months back I did a cam swap on a 4.6L Mustang and made the owner the same deal. He was more than happy to stay and help, lol.

Yep, a set of Jeep 4.7L H.O. cams are just as good as any other.

Congrats man, and no worries. Things will slow down at work until after the holidays. You will have to catch me before April though, that is when I leave for Officer Transition School in Newport RI.
