Well you could always bring it down here and I could change it all for you. Ive got everything to do it and have done a more than a few. PM sent BTW. Anyone else who wants this tool please LMK.
If anyone is in the process or market to change a cam, you will need to change the valve springs also.
You can do this two ways, either on the block or off the block.
If you pull the heads to do it you need to replace the head bolts, head gaskets, intake gaskets and exhaust manifold gaskets.
Or you can use the tool I have to change the springs on the heads on the block and leave all of that mentioned above alone.
I have that tool for sale so if you are interested please let me know.

If you are changing out the cam you will have to change out the valve springs and push rods. You will also need to replace the cam and crank bolt. All of that right there is $100.
Head gaskets and head bolts are optional because you do not HAVE to pull the heads but it does make it easier. Thats another $100 in gaskets and bolts.
But valve springs, push rods, cam/crank bolt are mandatory.
