Yep.....there is a trick or two
The LT5 has to be tilted to the rear considerably and the LT5 has to be prevented from rolling from side to side.
Leave the Fuel Rails, Plenum, and Bell Housing OFF untill after the LT5 is installed in the ZR1.
SW Offroad Headers. As you know it is difficult to install headers with LT5 in the ZR1. With engine out I was able to install 14 of the 16 header bolts with locks (on each Header) in just a few minutes.
1. You definitely need a load leveler (to UNLEVEL or tilt the LT5 to the rear).
2. You
CANNOT use the standard lift eyes for the LT5 because as you load UNLEVEL (Tilt engine to the rear) the
engine rotates if you lift LT5 on diagonals.
3. You have to lift with nylon straps around Flywheel (rear) and around Harmonic Balancer (front). Actually around more stuff on front.
4. You have to remove the A/C Temperature sensor cover (passenger side firewall) and Wiper Motor (Drivers side firewall).
5. You DO NOT have to remove the hood and the ZR1 can sit on the level.
A/C Temp Sensor........................Wiper Motor.............Do NOT use standard Lift Eyes installing LT5 with Headers
