Cam help!!!!!

Trying to put the stock cams in a P5 I bought. Which cam goes where? Does the intake cam or exhaust cam go on the front of the engine?
Thanks

Intake cam is in the back, exhaust cam is in front. If you don't know these things, don't bother putting them in. Sounds like you've never done this before and just dish out some money to have a shop to put them back in. Otherwise, things can get screwed up really fast.

well if u look at the design of your whole engine bay

you will see that the intake goes around to the back, to where te intake manifold is, so basically u can tell the the intake cam will be at the back

and if u look at where the exhaust comes out from, you will see that the exhaust manifold comes out from the front of the engine, so the exhaust cam will be at the front......

just to tell you how u could figure it out easily

BUT.... Funky Buddha is absolutely right.....If u couldn't figure this out, then you shouldn't put the cams in yourself, because you can come across alot of problems, and you should probably dish out the money to get a pro to do it, and in the end it will save you money by not having to spend on lots that may go wrong
