Clearance for dropping the LT5 back in

[HAWAIIZR-1]

I have a question for the experts that have took out and put in the LT5 a few times.

Is there enough room to put on the entire clutch with bellhousing out of the Z and then drop in or do you have to do that after it is in? It has been so long that I don't remember what I did when I took it out?

This baby is going back in tomorrow.

Thanks in advance!!!

And how about with the headers bolted up?

I just pulled an LT5 with bell housing attached ...just tilt the LT5 back a bit using a load leveler with hand crank. NO!....I did NOT have headers attached

The headers are pretty easy to attached after the engine is installed which is how I shall do it

Thanks, we are using a leveler and did so upon removal too. Maybe we'll give it a try. I don't think I would attempt it with headers though. I'm trying to do the least amount on my back under the car.

I imagine with headers, you can drop in most if the way in and then bolt them on before the final drop making it easier for us old guys

Thanks, I'll check that out today when dropping it in as I do remember it being a little bit of a pain.

Yes and nope, I have not had any loose women.

All I am waiting on now is the rest of my parts from GVD and I'll be good to go. Doing the final details today and tomorrow; I was really hoping to fire it up before the weekend and it looks like I might not make the Corvettes in Paradise show as well as getting ready to move and gotta get this Z driveable.
