Default LT1 engine removal through bottom pics

About five hours of time including breaks. Did the all the disassemble myself, so it took a while to figure out what needed to be removed/disconnected. All in all, it was very fun and dirty I might do a little how-to write up on this. I will post an LS1 edition in a few weeks. Enjoy.

Jeez -- still have the whole exhaust connected and everything? That's pretty cool. Although, looking at photo #4, I'm not sure how you got that engine out from between the hoist's legs. That *****...

Anyway, it'd be cool if you did a write-up. I'm sure that'd help a lot of people out~


-While on the subject & posting photos, I recently pulled mine out the top. This is, without doubt, the slower method.

I knew that question was coming. A well placed jack and cinder block under the vehicle would do the trick. Although i did not use that method. I just extended the hoist to 1/2 ton and moved it to the back and to the side slightly and rolled the dolly sideways out the drivers wheel well.

I'd definitely enjoy a detailed write up. I'm planning on doing the same thing this fall for a cam/k-member/manual rack/etc....install.
