Default Just have to say WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did my first LT1 header swap and i must say... I feel like putting 400 rounds of .50 in the damn thing.

Did my LS1 in around 4 hours, and this bastard tested me with nearly 9 hours.

Hats off to you guys who do shorties then go to LT's.

I hope to NEVER do it again. haha

But now my oil gauge aint working. Probably knocked the sensor loose or something stupid. It never ends with these cars.

If its the 93 in your sig, I can imagine why the sensor got knocked loose. Here is a tip/hint, make a slit in the rubber cover that goes over the sensor, it'll make it a lot easier to get the plug back on.

My BBK shorties weren't bad, but the AS&M mid lengths sucked the *****.

Yeah I am going from BBK shorties to FLP longtubes when I redo the motor in the Z28 next month... But, since everything else will be out, I am really not expecting it to be overly difficult...

I have AS&M mid-lengths on my T/A and I really didn't think they are bad at all to get in/out... You just have ot have anything out of the way to begin with...

Yeah my SLP shorties that I had were a pain. You learn what you need to do to get them on after changing gaskets a few times.

I am wondering how much better or worse my pacesetters are going to be. I swear the LT1 will teach you patience and that you can get your hands into spots you never dreamed of.

Well maybe thats the thing, i refused to remove anything lol

Had to remove the steering linkage for the driver.

And that POS sensor broke...cheap crap.
