I have looked everywhere and can't find them. I am doing a 3.2 into mtx swap and want to use the cams from the 3.0 and figured I should do the bearings at the same time.
Does anyone know where to buy new cam bearings?
If not, can I use the old ones from the 3.0 heads on the 3.2? Both sets of cams are in excellent condition.
Thanks for any help I can get on this.

I am new, but I think cam bearings are welding to the heads. I could be wrong though.

There are no cam bearings on the SHO engine. They ride in journals that are molded into the head casting.

Thanks, I have always used new head bolts when doing heads. Cheap insurance against blowin one or both. Personal preferance. Just don't want to take the chance of having to do all that work and paying for the gaskets again.
