LS1 Engine Removal I have heard comflicting opinions on this. Can an LS1 engine be removed through the hood, or does it have to be dropped. The tranny would not be removed in this job, it would stay as much attached as it can be. This is in a 1998 Z-28 by the way.

Are Firebirds different because I pulled my motor through the top about 2 weeks ago. A little tweaking here and there, but it came out the top with a 2 1/2 ton cherry picker.

lol... here we go again 
I'll vote for out the bottom, I have done it several times and tried the top way too. There will be some people on here soon though that swear by the top. Whatever works for you. Out the bottom it is easier to let the tranny go with it though.
