Installing Cam gear, front engine, and trans mounts, what order?
Looking for your opinions guys on which one to do first, last or whatever. I will be doing all three at once, and I am sure I do not want to disconnect all three together and then try to maneuver the engine back into place.
The front mount and entire front bumper is off (other things in progress), if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for your input!

cam gears are really pointless, i would say u dont even need to do those.
but if u want to do those:
cam gears
trans mount
front
u can disconnect the trans mount as well, there will still be 2 other mounts holding the motor in place

(C) Degreeing cams on a block/head that has been shaved or milled.
To use them on stock cams is pretty much pointless and is only a wasted "bling" factor. Either way it's up to you, good luck getting those cam bolts to break free at 70+ft/lbs of torque, especially if they're still in the head.

What he said. The only time I've seen cam gears prove their worth was for either (A) adjusting cam overlap to set a specific power band (typically done on a dyno), (B) Degreeing a new cam set
(C) Degreeing cams on a block/head that has been shaved or milled.

Everything is already purchased, so I just want to get this done now. The future may hold something bigger.
