Removing anti lock brakes
Removing anti lock brakes Anyone ditch the anti lock brake control? How big of a problem? What about the electronics?
Al 95 Z28 tried to put the engine in from the top with the intake on today. Not happening

The motor most certainly DOES go in from the top... You just can't have anything on it except for the intake (ie, no front accessories, no headers) and the flywheel/clutch...
You also need a "happy hooker" or you need to fabone up. It is a plate that bolts to the top of the intake with an offset to the front and a swivel bar... Drops the motor right in, you just need to have the motor sideways to begin with... Drop it in and once the drivers side valve-cover clears you turn the motor while it is in the engine bay...
If you are talented, you can do it with only the fan shroud up top removed, ie the radiator and cowl and everything else can stay in place...
I have pulled and installed my motor (too) many times in my '94 Z28 with intake on and from the top. Cannot do it with fuel rails/regulator on there now with the AFR heads/LT4 manifold, but definitely did it with the LT1 intake manifold on back in the day.
Here's an old pic for proof. This is 2005, pulling the 355 LT1 out to put in a 385 LT4 stroker.

Verdad Gallardo Problem with that is you might as well drop it out the bottom at that rate. To get it out of the top that way you have to pull the radiatior, the A/C condensor and all that jazz... Use a pull-plate and it comes out by pulling everything off it and twisting it sideways as it comes out... no need to recharge the A/C or anything else as it all stays connected...

Forget the engine. I just want to get rid of the weight and mess. Has a Dana 60 so no rear tone wheel or pickup, no ABS. No need for all the BS under the hood. Also want to get the evaporator out, but not right now.
Al 95 Z28, engine went right in sans the intake. The problem was the angle was so steep to clear the crank pulley and rear of the intake I could see a disaster, so I removed the intake.

We've got an ABS delete kit to do what you're looking for. http://sjmmanufacturing.com/cam_brk_...0Delete%20Kits
BTW, I've removed the engine from the top and the bottom. Bottom is the easiest with least hassle.
