Not even just doing cams, any time that front cover comes off is a good time to add cheap insurance to your mod motor.

Any estimates of approx hours the install would be from a shop? Shops in my area like to rape people on labor rates. Im heavily weighing the installation cost in my decision...

I figured shouldn't take any more than 3-4 hours, cams are fairly easy to get to on the coyote

I could live with that.

My recommendation would be to call a Ford dealership and ask them what the hours are on a cam set R&R. Use that as a guideline. I don't have definite figures, but I can almost guaranty a shop will charge more than 3-4 hours for a cam swap. If I just had to guess, I would say closer to 6-7 hours is what they would charge.

Probably this or closer to 8 hours.

Do you charge less for just doing exhaust cams, such as the 290 duration CJ cams?

we get $95 an hour for performance work. we typically get 8-10 hours.

If labor is that much, I'm out. Bummer as I was looking forward to this, instead of adding a ton of weight on the front of my car (Supercharger).

I think what Beef says is what the labour cost expectation should be.
