How to Remove / Install a Camshaft in a Small Block Chevy (EASY SWAP) #sbc #hotrod #camshaft

Filmed by @JaronWhelan

How to remove and install a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft. I’m doing it on a Small Block Chevy 355, the cam got wrecked due to lack of oil. I installed a thumpr camshaft from comp cams. When installing a cam shaft make sure you also install required hardware like torque converter and valve springs. I already has updated valve springs and I put a 3200 stall converter in. Enjoy!

I understand there are many different methods to this job that people use. This is how I do it and it works.

Thank you for this! This video was awesome.

It was the perfect balance of informative, quick, and not too much talking. Sometimes I just want to see how the job is done, and not listen to a YouTuber opine about everything or watch them in realtime as they take all the bolts off by hand.

Keep up the great work! Liked and subscribed!

I have seen plenty of these videos but this is the most detailed explanation thank you

I had a performance engine built for me, a 350 with a 6-71 blower and the engine builder accidently used an aggressive cam (the 'wrong' cam, in his own words) and I was told the cam could be changed-out with not too much trouble. Given the video I just saw, it looks like a LOT of

great job very simple and understandable. thanks

[p-funk]

Great vid! Whats your suggestion on a cam for a stock 350 sbc or do I need to get a different engine to make a lot more hp than stock? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the video just what I was looking for

Hey man I appreciate the upload, I’m doing a cam new lifters and roller rockers this time. I’m on my 3rd sb350 build so I’m not a noob but I like to dot my I’s and cross my T’s before I go to wrenching on stuff. This is a good check list for guys going about this automotive surgery. Mines going in a 64 Impala I’m hoping it’s gonna burn tires with my set up, took me 2 yrs of saving just to get the parts. Cheers mate thanks again.

Would you be interested in working on my 86 Monte Carlo SS??

[crustydribblins]

Great video! I've always wanted to know how this is done without $1, 000 worth of tools. I did hear that it's also good to soak the cam in oil for a day or so before install.

I have an 02 Tahoe that I want to put a Texas speed stage 2 cam in. What else should I upgrade or can I leave it all original?

[TheGeneralJEDI]

Great video.. so I need to change out cam in my 1980 sbc 350. I don't know what specs or cam to get. I don't want to get a cam that will force me to change out other items other than what I will need to change like lifters, push rods, rocker nuts. What would be a good cam spec to have a nice rumble but not crazy enough to blow out other parts. Engine is stock. Thank in advance!

I have a 78 Pontiac trans am 400, 73, 000 miles. Plan on putting in a 489 lunati voodoo cam. It has the original 406. Will I be okay with only replacing the valve springs? Everything else is original.

[davidjohnson]

Easy when engine is out of the vehicle, not so much when doing a cam swap with engine in vehicle.

[KGisthenameman]

Hey bud I have a question dude. I want to get cam that chops and you know get some performance out of it. Whar is the biggest one i could go with if i want to use the stock springs and rockers? How do you think that would idle? Thanks brother this is on a flat tappet 350. I will be getting matching lifters from the same company that made the camshaft and new hardened rods though i am not sure what size. I am assuming i need to replace the rods or just lifters. I have 6 quarts of drivens camshaft break in oil and have been using lucas classic car conventional 10w30 oil.

I much would it cost to cam kit swap my 96 Chevy caprice

[rydaaay]

Do you know what valves and pushrods i would get for a .560 valve lift cam in an all stock sbc 350?

[SQUARE_ATC]

Nice! My only complaint about the video is that I didn’t hear you talk🤣

[THEREALDEAL_]

Do i have to use new rockers and lifters when i do this?

[Oldfarmersgarage]

I put my new cam bearings in wrong so I gotta tear me motor back apart 😂
