Do the 3.9 Magnums have one or two cams?

I am thinking just one because of the timing chain.

How hard would it be to change out? How do you make sure its lined up exactly right? Do you need a special tool?

So, our Dakotas have pushrods?

How about the 4.7 and 5.7 hemi?

Sorry about the lack of knowledge. I am just now getting into automobiles again. I have never really worked with new cars anyways.

I barely remember putting a cam in a old 302 Mustang. But I forgot how my dad lined it up and everything. Or, how perfect it had to be.

You need to remove valve covers, rocker arm assy's
water pump, timing cover intake manifold, pull
