You're in NY, call up New Era and see what their charge is and if they can cut you a deal on the install like most shops do if you order all the parts from them.

Nobody is going to do a cam swap in one day.
i know, thats why i will be unable to go to new era, which is unfortunate because from what i see and read they do great work on these cars

I know we do it for 3k with parts, tuning, labor, fluids, plugs.... if you wanted milled/VJ'd heads 3400 seems about dead on to what we charge...
