It should have taken no more than 8-10 hrs....until we realized that all of his pushrods were bent. Pulled the heads, and all of the pistons were marked. Long story short, we ended up rebuilding the motor.
ls1 cam/spring swaps can be done in less then 4hrs for an experienced ls1 guy.

I don't doubt it in an f-body. But the vette was a pain in the ass,
