Anyone wanna give a hand pulling my ls1 this weekend? - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

foff667 · 10-05-2004, 09:12 AM

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.

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?

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.

no actually its mid engine front wheel drive so no

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 · 10-05-2004, 03:12 PM

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.

NJSPEEDER · 10-05-2004, 03:34 PM

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....

De Tyler and a sledgehammer:

Timmy's big strong arms:

And lots of hard work (and liquid encouragement) to make it look like this:

OK sounds good. Let me see how the week goes with the camaro, and if it doesnt blow up on me, ill be there! if you need more hands i have some buddies that would probably be more than happy to help
