LS 1 engine removal tool

What kind of tool are you talking about Richard?
I put my car up on my 2 post lift, and take my LT1 out the bottom.
I would do an LS1 the same way.

I have dropped it out the bottom and pulled it from the top with a Happy Hooker. I have yet to pull it out the front, but it looks like a quicker option.

Kyle,

I dont think Pete will let you get away with that....

You are right, but I did send this video to Gary Emmons before I worked on his car. Don't know why he acted so fidgety.

I have a "Happy Hooker" and used it with my LT1. It uses the little metric bolts that hold the fuel rails on, scary, but worked well. When I changed to the LS1, I would put the engine in with the intake off. There was no way to do it without smashing the plastic intake. Dyno

i've pulled ls1's out of fbodys multiple times. i found it easiest coming out right through the top. used 4 valley cover bolts and pulled the trans/engine as one piece. the angle is very steep but it cake with 2 people
