I'm looking for a professional mechanics book for the LS1 Fbody like the dealers have. I need to know usefull information such as labour times for certain jobs such as cam swaps etc.... as well as usefull diagnostic info. Does anybody know if there is a book available or if there is anyway to find the info online?

When I bought my car the owner gave me a set of dealer manuals for the car. Between all 3 books there's close to 3000 pages. They're pretty thorough to say the least.

I thought that was a retro swap guide for Ls1s into older GM's?
