You know your working on an fbody when... fill in the blank if you like
Mine right now is: when an 18 ft patch cord isnt long enough to be run down the side with the rest of the cables. have to go down the middle to reach the rear t-top well.
I ordered new kick panels also. Will sell mine to who ever wants them. Might replace all the interior trim as well. Its not in bad shape, just not in perfect shape

When it takes you longer than 20 mininutes to do plugs and wires.
It takes you the better part of the day to change out your cap and rotor.

-You can swap out an intake manifold faster than changing plugs/wires.

-You'd rather replace a clutch than change plugs/wires.

UMMM you really have to differiciate (sp?) between the LS1 and the LT1....

You know when your working on an LT1 when you Lube up your arm with bearing grease to sqeeze it further into the engine to get to a bolt, then when done you pull back a bloody mass of loose skin and bearing grease.

You know your working on an LS1 when you stay up the night before doing a cam swap worrying about wether your lifters are going to drop.

If you thinking jacking up a lowered F-bod is bad try a lowered C5 that is an ordeal.

A lowered Cobra sucks for jacking too. No place to put the jack unless ya have connectors with jacking points. Don't ask me how I know this.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE WORKING ON A F-BODY...

... when you're at Ellis' house and you see more "middle-aged male ***-crack" than a plumbers convention.


(I imagine mine will be appearing there too soon )
