    Why the hell would you do that? When you can just drop the cradle a few inches and pull it out through the passenger wheel well? I bet your trolling aren't you.

    If you can't drop the cradle and lift the car then lift the engine up. It's not hard to do.

    Not trying to sound like a dick but if your asking these kind of questions your probably not ready for a cam install. Do some more research and use the search feature we have.

    No you can't cut a hole in the wheel well, you'd compromise the structure of the body and likely have to cut the fender as well. The metal is thick enough that you'd require a plasma cutter to accomplish it.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    From what he's saying Chuck, I agree with everything you guys already mentioned about either lower or lift. There aren't many people that will have access to a hole saw that will go through the main support structure where the cam is hiding.

    Yea, some of the sub frame is about 1/8" thick. LOL

    Do you have a write-up showing this guy how to lift the motor up a bit?

    A bit wouldn't help. You'd basically be pulling it. Lowering is easier, however if he can't lower then likely he can't pull it either.

    For all the write ups search "easy" and my SN

    That I happen to have said "easy" about at least one thing in each write up. Might have said "this is not easy". Same word...lol Nah, it's all easy.
