Installing the cam gear, and harmonic balancer on an L6 250 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alright, before I start throwing stuff in the engine I wanna clear up a few things.
First of all, will I be able to install a camshaft gear properly at home, or must I take it to a shop and have them do it? If I am able to, can someone please explain a good method to do so?

On the harmonic balancer of the L6 250 the crank snout is NOT tapped. Is there a tool I will be able to use to easily install the balancer? If so what tool?

Thanks to anyone who helps.
