Default Cam change without pulling engine?

I've got a midstates with a 460. Should I be able to change the cam without pulling the engine out? Space is VERY tight in there... I will also need to change the valve springs... Thoughts?

well maybe measure how long a cam is and then measure in front of the engine. that should tell you if you have enough room. and springs, if you're going with a bigger cam than it might be a good idea to get matching cam and springs.

If you pull the drive shaft, and remove the trans, crossmember, loosen the moter mounts, then drop the tail end of the tranny down, and point the front of the engine upwardes you should be able to do it, let me know.
