not sure I understand your question??? I believe an LT1 in an F-body will come out easier from below, rather than taking it out from above.

pull it out with a engine hoist?

yes w/o head and everything it will come out even w/ the transmission you need to take out radiator and condensor and then use a adjusting holster for the engine hoist and it will come i did it 3 months ago

You broke the rod or the rod bolts? The rods are fairly strong on these motors. At this stage it's easier to pull the motor from top provided you have an engine hoist. I've fabed up a lifting plate that attaches to the 3 5/16" threaded holes at the lifter valley, makes it much easier.

TPIS happy hooker all the way. Don't even have to remove the hood.

If you're just replacing the engine, I'd do it out the top. IMO it's easier since you don't have to disconnect power steering or brake lines.
