Why are you replacing the cam? I'm assuming lifters are hydraulic. Why not look up the specs and adjust them.

Not a job to take lightly. Cam cover seats in oil pan, have to pull it down and leaks are hard to avoid. Cam generally has to go through AC condensor, whole different job there too. Valve covers, distributor, intake manifold, water pump, radiator, just a few items to think about. As above, I'd try a lifter adjustment first, sometimes the readjustment will make a difference, or you'll see a bad rocker or push rod while doing it.
