Easiest way to pull engine?

Sorry if this is in the wrong area.

I am going to replacing the rod bearings and main bearings in a 1998 firebird soon.. It has an LS1.

And Well I need to remove the engine.

Or do I?

Thanks.

Without a lift - From the top
With a lift - From the bottom

yep gota pull the engine. easiest way ive found is from the bottom. If you have a car lift you can use it makes this process a sinch. check this link out. Great walkthrough http://www.myls1.com/showthread.php?t=1808. Are you replacing bearing because of knock? Were you getting bad oil pressure. Better make sure it didnt damage anyother parts while its out.

I used a cherry picker to lift the front of my car high enough to pull it out from the bottom on the entire front end. Worked great.

So on a scale of 1-10 what would you all rate this engine pull at?
