Default Cam removal in an ERA/FE
I have ERA #797, and I'm thinking of changing out the cam in my FE. The car has a crossmember in front of the engine. As far as I can tell, to replace the cam with the engine in the car, it looks like I need to remove the radiator, and I may need to loosen the motor mounts and the trans mount, and jack the engine up about 1-2" so the cam can clear the crossmember when it's coming out.

Can anyone verify this, or let me know the ins and outs if they've swapped a cam in an ERA/FE with the engine in the car?
