Cam Gear question

[Tbuck07]

Hey quick question..

If I'm using 99-00 windsor heads and using press on gears, and want to re-use my stock cam gears, can I take those off and re-press them onto my new aftermarket cams..?

Thanks guys

Just need to find bolt on cams gears for 01+ gt's..?

Jesus the cheapest I can find are the comp cams..which are 248 dollars..Arent there stock OEM ones I can buy? Found some on ebay but I dont think they're the right ones. I have 99 windsor heads, I believe they're windsor..

Thanks guys.

yes that is what you need. the gears are side-specific too, don't try to force them on the cams. the will only go on one side.

the one with the 'holes' in it goes on the passenger side, the one thats solid goes on the drivers side.

and yes you can re-use your factory cam bolts, they are technically torque-to-yield, but many people, everyone i know thats done cams, re-uses them, including myself. and no problems.
