I pulled my LS1 from the top , 1999 Z28 , the car went up on blocks under the wheels with built in stops to prevent the car from rolling off . Can not be done with the trans on the engine . Pulled the trans , bellhousing ,clutch and flywheel. You have to remove the intake manifold for clearence and unless you pull the front bumper assembly , you will need a cherry picker with at leat 50"
of reach . The rad , fans , have to come out . Slow process , 2 guys , one on the cherry picker and one guiding the engine out.
