You would still have to take off the timing cover of coarse but as long as there are no bigger journals in the front of the cam that would cause it to hang up I can't see why not. I'll have to look at my HOT cam when I get home.

yea thanks man. doy ou have the lt4 hot cam? cuz that is the one i want to get put in. would the place be able to put in the springs, rockers, and everything else if i were to get the kit? with just the trans being out?

Good luck cutting a hole through your floorboard- cuz it's pretty tight back there to thread a cam in your block. Actually, the cam bearings are stepped, the one in the front of the block is larger than the one in the rear (for clearance as you're installing the cam). If you pull the bearings out and reverse the order, you may be able to make this work,but I'm pretty sure the bearings only come out the front, so the cam would have to be removed from the front first in order to reverse the bearings to allow the cam to be removed from the rear. Hopefully this makes sense-
