LS 1 engine removal tool

Since I have an aversion to crawling around in the floor, (I'm old and would have to get back up) I use a roll around hydraulic table for the engine & Trans to sit on, and my lift, I can have it out almost as fast as I could get the headers out. The headers go on & come off sitting on that table.

If I'm changing cams, headers, or pulling heads I raise the car off the engine & Trans sitting on that table (aka take it out the bottom) and just work on it right there. When done I just let the car back down & and bolt up the motor plate, cross member & put the drive shaft back in. The ECU harness & two fuel lines had to come off either way. I find that easier than bending over the fenders. But, as I mentioned, I'm old.
