Default Cam Install ?

Finally think I am getting around to doing a cam swap. Decided on the SE 204 with adjustable push rods. What else do I need for the install?

Exhaust gaskets, etc...

Yes I have a manual. I am just away from it right now. Thanks in advance.

IF you have made friends with a friendly indy shop...stop by and ask the lead engine tech.

inner cam bearings b-168
Cam cover gasket
exhaust gaskets
oil pump and cam plate gaskets
cam alignment spacer kit
oil, filter
Lifters (depends on mileage)
blind whole bearing puller for inner cam bearings
bearing installer or use old cams and gently tap in with rubber mallet.

Your manual has a parts break down with part numbers. May not need all the above. Just depends on how cams align and if you want to reuse some things.

I've seen a few dynos of this and it has the powerband I am looking for.

Here is a link to a dyno sheet of a setup very similar to mine

BTW, there is a good article in this month's AIM about cams, also. Not about installation, necessarily, but about the differences in design and what they mean.
