I managed to replace the camshaft by taking the bonnet off and then undoing the engine mounts and jacking up the front of the engine until the camshaft could be withdrawn into the cutout behind the radiator. 1985 390 SE.

Put a lump of wood between the jack and the sump to stop the sump getting a dent.

Similar but mine came out above the nosecone. If you replace the engine mount bolts with 3"-4" ones you can really slacken them off for jobs like this.

If you have the block out then it will be a pice of cake, if the engine is still in the car the cam will come out not to bad.
