No the cams aren't installed, it just sounds like it because of the open headers, the car idles fine without any assistance, but i couldn't help but rev the shit out of it.
I also couldn't keep the car running for long, we didn't hook up the radiator yet, lolz. Anyway, i was 100% shocked that it fired up, i really doubted it, but meh, guess I need to have more trust in my self. Not bad though for a couple of teenagers though.
Mad props to my friend erik too, he has been helping me throughout the whole swap.
I really can't wait to drive it, i'm still waiting on a center support bearing, in order to get it driving.
