HO swap question:do I have the wrong cam?

Just a question will the cam come out without having to take the grill off? I just want to know before I take the car over Monday. If so I'll pull the grill off before I go :hick:

Yeah I am :D . I've driven it on a break in run after I got it started and it'll move pretty good. The engine will idle ok but it's kind dogsih between idle and 3,000 rpms because of the injectors firing wrong. It'll pull like crazy at about 3,000 rpms because at that point the injectors are pretty much just dumping gas in the engine anyways. It'll rear up and snort if you stab it at 60mph and lunge to 100 mph like nothing. Imagine what it'll do with the right cam:evilgrin:
