Re: camshaft

engine can stay in. you would need to remove the radiator to make enough room to pull it out.

Re: camshaft

yes you would need tuning after a cam install unless you went with a small cam.

No, you don't.

Depends on what cam you get and your driving habits

You're gonna have to get more than that redone

is there any kind of guide on the camshaft.

Re: camshaft

sure if you want it to be a tighter squeeze, leave the radiator and fans in there. I would prefer to have enough room to work with. At least take the fans out of there to give more room
