Putting a Cam on my 89 TBI 350

[Gamikatsu]

what all do i need to take off of the front to get at the timing cover. Fan, Water Pump, Ballancer, Timing Cover. any of the serpentine belt brackets need to come off?

There is a wealth of information on this site.

Don't forget to pull the intake and valve cover's, and loosen the rocker arm's and remove the pushrod's and lifter's.

and the radiator, and maybe the ac condesnor too which requires a hvac guy to come drain it or you take it to them.

I would remove the front brackets but that's just me.

If I remember right I also had to remove the center brace for the rad support. Dont recall having to remove either side of the accesory brackets. You will have to drop the oil pan, like blue 95 said.

When you re-install everything, use a two piece timing cover. Never have to drop the pan again to swap cams.
