It's not too hard, I did it, but it's easy to get confused.

Prior to the cam swap I had already changed out motors, then I swaped out the heads/rockers etc, so I knew my around the engine bay a little.

I wouldn't make it my first install by any means.

I would try to get someone to help me that's done one before, because there are plenty of things to screw up.

Get a degree wheel, and find out if that cam is actually whats its supposed to be.

i did my own cam install with the mopar rt2 cam. i work at a chrysler jeep and dodge dealer, and i must say it was pretty hard. i would ask for help for your first one. remember dignity can be gained back but a blown motor cant be.
