I have been wanting to do this for a while now and since I got my 383, no better time than the present.
This is how to install camshaft bearings.
First, you need the right tool for the job. I've seen people use generic bushing drivers in the past, but the right tool makes it stupid proof and will provide good results everytime. Mine is the Lisle 18000 universal camshaft bearing tool. It will install and remove camshaft bearings in just about any engine made and it's a very affordable tool. I paid 115 bucks shipped for mine. You can easily offset the cost by telling your friends you have the tool and doing it reasonable for them. Here's how it's done.
First, remove all the main caps so that you can see STRAIGHT through the oil passages through the camshaft bores.
