Pulling and swaping ls1 engine in an fbody
Pulling and swaping ls1 engine in an fbody Is there a way to lift the front of the car up off of the kmember using a chain hoist? I don't have a car lift but I do have a large chain hoist that would lift the front of the car high enough. where should I hook the hoist to to lift the front of the car with out damageing any thing?
If you find a post about this that gives the locatio to lift from let me know. I tried to search and all I found was how to remove the engine on a lift from the bottom.
so you pulled it out the top? how did you pull it from the top? I am guessing you removed the manifolds or headers, intake and heads? How did you attach to the engine to pull it out? I have a cherry picker and a large chain hoist thats set up on large steel I beams.
Pulling the motor/tranny from the top requires you to unbolt the headers, and remove all of the accesories off the front of the motor. Then I used a plate that bolts where the valley cover goes and pulled them right out.
Here's some pictures of how we did it on my brother's old camaro. I did it the same way on my TA though.

I would definetly rather take it out the bottom but I don't have a lift. I do have a cherry picker and a large chain hoist mounted about 10 feet above the ground. I have been trying to see whats the best way to hook up to the front of the car to lift it.
You have to take off all the accesories down to the block to get it out though.
