Don't forget to stock up on band-aids ....... you will be needing some.
Plus I think if you have to ask how and what tools to use ...... I strongly suggest to get someone to do it for you. This project is not for a novice, nor the faint of heart. The drivers side is tough and a tight fit. Once you start, there is no going back. I strongly suggest to search a little more for a shop in your area and let someone else do it with the right tools and experience.

I done them on my 350 and I said never again. Way to stressfull and not worth it in gains. Especially if you have already done all the other NA mods. Better have various tools. I had to cut off about a 1/4'' of a 14mm deep socket just to get one bolt off on the drivers side due to the tight area. Getting the sockets and wrenches in there is one thing then to break then loose is another. Good luck.
