LS1 swap begun. Need some help quick.
So far I have changed the rear end and took the whole exhaust sytem out. LCA's bolts were a PITA to unscrew so I had to cut the bolts out. I want to replace the panhard rod on the new rear but I can't get the stupid bolt out(passenger side). Air compressor wont work and so does my impact wrench (plugs in cigarette lighter). Any suggesstions on how to take this bolt out???
I also tried to take take the bolts from the crossmember and they too wont move. Is there an impact wrench I could get that will take this out?
Last question. The front suspension that I got was from a 96 trans am bolted on its 96 trans am crossmember. I also have a 2000 trans am crossmember with no motor mounts or anything. Should I use the 2000 crossmember instead of the 96 crossmember? I need help asap. Thanks! <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Get a big breaker bar. If thats not long enough (ts probably 12" long) then slide a longer pipe over it (like 3 feet) thereby giving you more leverage. If that doesn't work, then your screwed. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> j/k That should do it.
Don't know about that other stuff.
