That sucks I tried for 30 mins and could not get the bulb back in the hole. My arm was all cut up from trying to snake my in. Got my friends little brother that was 14 at the time to stick his small hand in. He did it in like 4 min. Now I have to do it again this weekend. Thanks for the door info. He prolly to old to do it again.

In a camaro just remove the headlight. Makes it so easy. I just replaced my turn signal and foglight. Took maybe 5 minutes.

That's nice to know that LS1 camaros are easy (as I am switching over to a LS1 front body style). THe LT1 body style sucks. you have to go in from underneath.

2. Where to put the air cleaner? The benefits of locating an airbox between the block and the firewall.

3. Etc.

thats not how they design stuff!

they do what's called the BB test.

grab a handfull of BBs and throw them on top of the engine bay. if more than 2 hit the floor, they have to put more **** in the bay!!

You hit the nail right on the head. I don't know how it is possible that the 2.0 in my Escort seems to take up as much space under the hood as the LT1 in my Formula. Granted it's a smaller car and there's a tranny under the engine, but still.
