Engine Removal

[chevyboy221]

Has anyone removed and ls3 out the top with the trans still attached??

[Aries240SS]

yes, but it is not fun. You need about 4 feet of clearance under the car to remove it this way with a hoist.

And the risk of damaging a fender/nose/fender well, etc. NOT the ideal way to do it but if you have no 2 post lift available it can be done.

Sounds like I'm going to have fun

leave the tranny in and take the motor separate, Not worth taking both of them out together, I did both ways and dropping the tranny out separate was so much easier

You guys should take photos and do a writeup while removing your engines. It would be insanely valuable for the rest of us and it would give a good idea how to perform almost any part r&r. something like http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125123 The rest of us would be forever in your debt,

That would be a great idea but unfortunately for me, my car is half dissembled :(. I will still post a lot of pics on my thread. I bought my engine stand last week and I'm picking up the engine hoist tonight.

Cam for now.

Here's another way of doing it.

That's why you're supposed to finish something before starting a new project, not that I'm one to talk or anything.

LOL, your right.

Don't feel bad, I've had my front pfadt sway bar installed for 2 months and my rear one is sitting in the garage since my move. A pile of parts are sitting in the garage too. Stupid jobs and too small garages.
