Just have to say WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did my first LT1 header swap and i must say... I feel like putting 400 rounds of .50 in the damn thing.

Did my LS1 in around 4 hours, and this bastard tested me with nearly 9 hours.

Hats off to you guys who do shorties then go to LT's.

I hope to NEVER do it again. haha

It seemed like mine was easy enough to get in, just had to give them a nudge.

If its the 93 in your sig, I can imagine why the sensor got knocked loose. Here is a tip/hint, make a slit in the rubber cover that goes over the sensor, it'll make it a lot easier to get the plug back on.

My BBK shorties weren't bad, but the AS&M mid lengths sucked the *****.

Yeah I am going from BBK shorties to FLP longtubes when I redo the motor in the Z28 next month... But, since everything else will be out, I am really not expecting it to be overly difficult...

I have AS&M mid-lengths on my T/A and I really didn't think they are bad at all to get in/out... You just have ot have anything out of the way to begin with...

Yeah my SLP shorties that I had were a pain. You learn what you need to do to get them on after changing gaskets a few times.

I am wondering how much better or worse my pacesetters are going to be. I swear the LT1 will teach you patience and that you can get your hands into spots you never dreamed of.

It took you 14 hours to do a motor swap? Were YOU playing with yourself with one hand?
