OK - someone tell me it's easy and can be done with engine in - please:-) (will change chain/tappets etc too).

Assuming it's a V8 I can confirm it's possible.

I had to disconnect the engine mounts and jack the engine up a bit (or maybe down a bit - it's been 10
+ years since I did mine) to thread the cam out past the body work. I think I also had to disconnect the exhaust manifolds too.

Yes I've done it too - as Danny says loosen the engine mounts and jack it up a few inches so the cam clears the front of the nosecone - saves loads of time.
