Pulling motor!
I'm all for out the bottom if I dont have to be under the car
I'll let Mikey handle. I'll fire up the grill and get some burgers going..LOLI've also got a hoist I can bring, breaks down nicely if need be. Engine stand? We should start a list of tools and who's got what to bring.
but yeah you said it was at a shop but didnt have a lift? i can let you borrow my cherry picker its only a couple of years old its torn motors ot oh elcaminos dag boats and c10 pickups lol shees real trusty just pm me let me kno I've put LS1's in from the bottom and the top, so it really doesn't matter to me either way. If going in from the top, the radiator needs to come out, the manifold needs to come off, along with alot of other little things like headers etc.. All that stuff can stay bolted on when coming out the bottom. It's alot easier to remove all that stuff when it's out of the car, then hunched over a fender. Just some food for thought......
