Default About to start LT install...

Wish me luck. This is the biggest install i have ever done. I have one experienced person with me, so all should go well. We are going to pull a allnighter. For me, its like going to work because i work midnights.

Later, fellas.

Dude, you really should consider starting this job at 6am instead of 7:30pm EST.
Good luck nonetheless.

Yes, but you may have to shave one of the stock studs. Not a problem, only took a second or two. Then again, I have BBK's.

i believe some people will disagree with that statement. i put long tubes on a LS1 and that is a cake walk compared to our cars. i've read a lot of horror stories on the boards.

good luck man

There is no maneuvering under the hood on our cars, they are installed from under the car.

I had to take the passenger side motor mounts and the starter off just to get the new one on. I aint even going to talk about taking the old ones off. Jeesh, i still have to do the drivers side. I have until tomorrow morning now, but i am responsible for cleaning the place up. Time for so Redbull and Cranberry to get me going. While i am taking a break, i am going to install the BBk T/B and Plenum. I cant wait to crank her up.
