Clearance for dropping the LT5 back in
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!!! Craig

Re: Clearance for dropping the LT5 back in
And how about with the headers bolted up?

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

Re: Clearance for dropping the LT5 back in
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.

Re: Clearance for dropping the LT5 back in
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

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.
