Re: 1st LT5 engine pull, looking for tips and tricks
Does anyone have the CPT videos they would be willing to let me borrow? I'm getting into my engine removal, and would feel better if I reviewed the videos.
thanks, Todd |

Ryan,
Tapes are on the way back. Thanks again! A few valuable tips, which helped prepare the motor for its big exit. Do any of the other Z brothers here have the lift hooks? I've left the inj housings in place, so I am not sure where else to lift from besides using the hooks. Todd |

BillyBaloney just bought a '94 engine with problems and he says that it came with the lifting mounts.

I mailed you a set of engine lift brackets...you should have them by Friday...shipped USPS. I'm tearing into my engine that's still sitting on the shipping pallet, and will need them back once I get the heads off, I'll want to put the motor on a rotating engine stand for re-assembly
