lt1 long tube help
lt1 long tube help Hey what's going on guys, I don't know that much about lt1's..yet. But I'm helping a friend monday put on long tubes. Can any1 help me out I dont know if there is a thread for this insatll or not. I put my long tubes on my ls1 last weekend and it was prett easy. I know im gona have to jack the motor up but thats about it. We have to take out his shorty's and put in the long tubes. Can yall help me out please. and please no smart asses Im just asking for help
Having done it once I wouldnt do it again without unmounting the motor. (i wouldnt even try slipping them in) So many people try to wedge the things in there and mar the coating all up in the process, when in reality its only an extra half hour of work MAX to unmount and remount one side of the engine. It makes the install so much easier.
Allright so I got the driver side manifold un bolted, but can't get the steering knuckel loose. I also don't know hot to make EGR block off plates. And the passenger side is a itch to get off. Can any1 lend some help, I wana get this all done in the next day or two.

I have done several LS1 LT installs and 3 LT1 shorty header installs (one on my old Y-body) autos and M6s. On some of them I could jack the motor up just a bit with the motor mount still bolted on. Others I have had to take the motor mounts loose and jack up the motor.

as long as you drop the starter, drain the oil and take off the filter and take off the alternator and steering knuckel( take off both bolts and slide it upwards and pull the bottom off then pull the top off)it shouldnt be that bad. what brand of long tubes did he get.
he got pacesetter lt's. Im pulling the starter tomorrow, and drainin the oil so I can get the filter off tomorrow. Im tired as hell right now to do it all, plus i just got the car back down. TNAK YOU EVERY1 WHO HAS HELPED OUT I REALLY APPRECIATE IT
