Default Gear drive?

I am considering the switch to gear drive cams along with a 95" kit. Looking for cost and difficulty of installation. Thanks

in the 700 range...and not that hard....use a buddy with a screwdriver to hold the cam tensioner out of the way and then wiggle the plate off..take it to an indy and have him press em out and the new ones in...you'll need a bearing puller/installer to change bearings...the rest is easy....i cut my pushrods with boltcutters and replaced em with Jims ProLites...you'll have to take the pipe & board off tho

Easy job. I did it without a press for installing the cams. I used the oven/freezer method. Worked like a charm.

Here's a good guide:
