To pull engine or not- cam/head replacement
I have intake off and need to remove radiator but looking at the situation I'm thinking it will be easier to just pull engine and leave rad.(its new anyway). This is a 1975 w/ A.C. and the right exhaust is tight, I am also removing the heads, I would like to put in a new oil pump also! Any advice would be great. :yesnod:

Here is my current situation.... 
I have CompCams XE-262-H-10 going in. Along with Dyno-Max exhuast system. And fully ported and re-built 882 heads. All with the motor in. You have to take the radiator out to do the cam. And since you have it out, why not re-build the radiator. My suspension was just rebuilt too. Anyway, you don't HAVE to pull the motor. It will probably just get you spending more money if you did..LOL.

But, if your going to do the oil pump it might be easier with the motor out, since it's in the sump. You won't have to work on your back with the motor out. But, you don't have to pull the motor to do the cam and heads. If your doing the oil pump, why not replace the bearings. It will boost your oil pressure up.
