this might sound dumb. i ask cuz i never really worked on many ls1 motors in cars that actually have ls1's in them. i have put them in my 68 camaro an
s-10 and my mustang. but i have abuddy who has a 98 t/a and he asked if i would chnge his head gasket (only one is bad? and he only wants to do that one????) anyway, i looked it up and it says 13 hours to do both 8.7 for one and 7.3 for the other side.
that got me thinkin there must be some stuff in the way and maybe you have to drop the cradle. im hoping not cuz i really dont want go that far (im lazy) i do have my own lift at my house so it wouldnt be that bad but i was just hoping there was an easier way to do it? anyone know?

i had a feeling i wouldnt have to drop the motor down. i wonder why the chilton labor giude calls for so many hours?
