... you need to put the car five feet above the ground to get the engine out of the bottom...



Seems every article I've ran into with this subject everyone has the back on ramps and two massive 2X4 towers or an engine hoist to get the car high enough to take the k-member out. This seems easier IMO. Two decent floor jacks, a funiture dolly and a couple of 2X4 blocks under the chassis and it clears fine.

 

Same color as my 96 SS! I hardly ever see anyone with one similar to mine. Does yours have the black roof or teal? And yeah, great job pulling that engine out with the car that low. Pulling the wheels off makes a hug difference

 

and the Intake I should add

 

Thanks. Roof and mirrors are black. I think all Z28's at least that year came with black mirrors/roof? Anyway, yeah I took the intake off because I was headed a different direction before deciding to pull the engine. The air dam is all still on, but probably will take it off when placing everything back in its place.

 

Mine has teal roof & mirrors. But the SS came with both black & body matched. Either way, good looking, rare cars. What made you decide to pull it?

 

Glad to see that. I will be doing that same job shortly.

 

Good to know you don't have to lift it too high...

 

What is the pitbull stand in the background for?

 

lmao. i was just admiring the a/c

 

With the floor jacks I had I put two blocks of 2X4 on each jack.



Got a ceiling fan too!

 

I pulled my motor out the same way. Had the rear up on ramps, lowered the K-member with a ATV jack, raised the front of the car up with a crane, motor on the stand in 4 hours single handedly. In my old garage, I did not have AC but I did have a Kegerator filled with Guinness.

 

I use the furniture dolly too, works great.

 

Cam only ls1 goin in?

 

Going to strip the unecessaries, go AI and race you for money.

 

Update?

 

I want in on this. He has to race me first.

 

SS RRR, is that car color "mystic teal pearl"? I ran my VIN in one of those databases and it said that was my car color. It's strange, because when I first bought it I could see that bluish tint like yours has, but years later all I see is green. It still changes color a bit in different lights, but I feel like I'm going colorblind. Or maybe I wax it too often.

 

You'll instantly run 10.5s.

 

Whats the real plan? Or are you really doing a AI topend?

 

Ive been getting some use out of these GPI Industries stands I picked up.. was looking at the Pitbulls, but these were 125 for the pair. They sell a head attachment for 50 to.
