Yea, ive been doing a bit more reading, it seems welding is the way to go (if I indeed got the car). Its a mint 96 with 70k miles for ~4000$, the 70k kind of scares me though, as Id hate to get a car that was irrepairably damaged.
Im looking at a 3rd gen sho and the cams are not welded. SHO shop wants the cams removed before they will work on them. How hard is it to do? Mabye in comparison to say a standard chevy 350?
thanks
Nate
