Update: I successfully installed the exhaust cam, but couldn't install the intake cam using the same method. When I tried another method, I forgot to hold the camshaft in the desired position. So, it snapped back into its resting position and pulled up one of the journal bearing caps, which pulled the stud out of the head and stripped the threads in the head. When I tried to repair the threads using a time-sert, I broke the driver in the hole.

The ebay headers from trader-nas lined up to the engine just fine, but were about 2 inches too short to meet with the midpipe and the flanges were off by about 90 degrees.

So, the car is presently at MaximumPsi in Linden, NJ. They'll be doing all of the remaining work on the car. They're a very reputable shop so I'm optimistic. I'll keep you posted.
