How hard is it to istall the Pacesetter LT's on a 99 SS, do you have to drop the motor?

 

no you don't, you can actually do it with jackstands. my buddy installed mine and all he did was jack my car up and sit it on jackstands and they just slide right in from the bottom is what he said. don't forget to do your motor mounts while your in there

 

I think my pacesetters took me like 20 minutes for both sides once I got all the stock bullshit out of the way. They are cake. Make sure its high though.

 

easy man last bolt on passenger side exaust mani is a bit*h but no big deal

 

I had to jack up the engine a bit in order to get the driver side header to slip in....other than that no problems.

 

That may have been because you didn't cut the casting tab on the engine block?

 

hmm...it was attempted but someones finger got cut by a grinder

 

Its not as easy as everyone says it is. But its not hard. Just time consuming. If you must do it on jack stands make sure they go up high enoug to clear the header on an angle. Expect an 8 hour our more install for your first time.

 

the higher you can get the nose the easier they will slide in place.

 

Yep...just get it good and high, and you MAY need to grind the tab. I have had a couple sets go right in without any extra work.

 

I took a sawzall and cut through it like butter.

 

When I Did My Pacesetter Lt I Haver The Race Series And It Hit The Tab...i Just Unbolted Trans Mount And Jack The Trans Up And This Gave The Room To Get It To Clear No Cutting Or Grinding The Tab

 

or just undo the steering linkage, its not that bad.
