Anyone wanna give a hand pulling my ls1 this weekend?

[foff667]

as the title states im gonna need a hand pulling the motor...the wiring harness is 97% removed minus a couple of grounds on the back of the motor, and starter needs to be removed & the motor will be ready to pull but i am gonna need an extra hand or two of course I'll buy lunch or dinner whatever depending on the time everyone wants to help.

Thanks
Bill

depending on money by the end of the week and if i have gas or not and if i dont get up in time for SLP day which i really want to go to I can make it down saturday to help ya. dont matter what time as long as i am up.

[foff667]

Personally I think I'd probably rather do it on sunday since my wife & kid will be out for most of the afternoon so I can do whatever needs to be done...I'll get all the odds and ends done today and tomorrow so we can just pull the motor & be done with it...Now I just gotta make room in my garage :) anyone wanna buy a 4.3 block? :lol:

im not, probably the best thing to happen to me in a long time...i was ok, cc debit is almost nill now...before the accident it had peaked at $7900, I've got a nice family car now in the GTP & did i mention my cc debit is almost nothing? hehe cars break or get broken you move on I'll have another one before you know it.

You can pull an LS1 from the front?

[foff667]

You can pull an LS1 from the front?

no actually its mid engine front wheel drive so no :lol: actually yes you can pull it out of the front...either through the bottom lifting the chassis off the motor or motor out under the hood at a good angle.

[ar0ck]

I dont think im doing much this weekend. But if your interested I have an engine balancer thing to help pull the motor out at an angle.

its not a high speed transplant type of thing, kmember needs to be cut, boxed & welded back up, new oil pan & pickup & the sheild needs to be cut in the pan. Just pulling it is the main plan right now...putting it in SHOULD be a one man job if i take the front end off the truck :)

Pulling the front end off of a truck is easy, with the right tools....

if nobody shows by two im just gonna head out...i removed the motor out of the truck by myself so im sure i can take it out of this car too...just figured it would be nice to get a hand :)

[foff667]

as expected nobody showed so i got to most of the little **** that still needed to be taken off like the water pump, pulley, front sway bar, oil pressure sender, and I took off to watch some of the football games over my dads house since hes got the football pack on satallite :) then came back and sold my hood to someone on ls1tech.com and now here I am chillin again...hopefully some night this week I'll unhook the tq arm & pull the motor...again if anyone wants to help I'd appriciate it.

[Tru2Chevy]

Sorry I didn't make it over....my mom got something under her contact and scratched her cornea this morning, so Tim and I drove up to the farm to drive my dad's truck home tonight. I'm free Monday and Thursday of this week, so if you'll be working on it either of those nights let me know.

[bad64chevelle]

Hey Foff I am truly sorry my opti swap became the biggest B*tch ever! i couldnt get ahold of the right tools until this morning and from 8 am till about 9 this evening i was pluggin away at it...Once again I am really really sorry about that.

its all good I'll live...maybe some time this week we can try again, justin said monday or thursday...im pretty much free everyday except friday so whatever :)

[JL8Jeff]

If you still need a hand, let me know. Is the car inside or outside? The weather looks pretty lousy for Thursday and Friday. I can offer a hand Wednesday and possibly Sunday.

[foff667]

thanks for the offer jeff...if its still in the car on sunday I'll let you know and maybe we can try that again...hopefully justin can give a hand on thursday & we'll have out with little issue.

[Tru2Chevy]

...hopefully justin can give a hand on thursday & we'll have out with little issue.

Hopefully the weather will change, 'cos they are currently calling for 80% chance of rain for Thursday
