ok.......
"common sense" says your intake cam should be on the side of your engine that your intake manifold is on..........and your exahust cam should be on the side your exhaust manifold is on.

whip out the haynes, look that the picture of the engine with the valve cover off and compare the ones you have to the ones in the picture. I didn't assume he had them out of the engine.
