LT1 Engine Removal Help!
I pulled mine out the bottom in just a few hours without doing any research, it was actually a blast. I'm gunna do it again when I get the money to do a cam. Should only take me an hour or two this time.

engine removal Im about to do mine thie weekend.
Question:
1. Is there a way to remove the transmission and engine together WITH OUT draining the oil from tranny? Or is draining it a must
2. Does the rear wheels NEED to be sitting on some rims or can it be done with the rear wheels on the ground?

it is safer to have the rears sitting on a set of wheels, but u can still do it with them on the ground

Verdad Gallardo Let me rephrase that. No, you do not need to seperate the tranny and engine, in fact it is easier removing them together. Simply disconnect the tranny lines from the cooler. You do not need to drain it.
no need for trans lines rocks

and you can use just the tire? or do you have to use a tire with the rim?
I took mine out the top but we are putting it back in through the bottom. I would say the top method had a difficulty of about 5 out of 10. I havent done the bottom method yet, but suspect it will be easier.
