We changed the cam in my car without taking out the engine. It IS possible for the 00 year and I would assume for at least the 96-99.
You drop the passenger side of the engine cradle enough to slide the cam out the wheel well.

the only additional thing you would need with a cam is the timing chain and the cost of the cam/timing chain is about the same as rockers
You always need to have new lifters with new cams. :o
...and that 1.9 rocker must be real hard on cam shaft and other components wear. The 1.7 would be a better compromise.
Why would you need head work with the 1.7 and not the 1.9 rockers?
As long as your total lift is less than .550" ,,,,,,,,,with the 105 springs and mild cam you wouldn't be over that even with 1.7 ratio. Would you?

By properly machining the heads to handle increased valve lifts, we are able to prevent oil seal and valve guide damage that can be caused by cams with gross valve lifts in excess of .525".
