Man, installing longtubes for us like like changing sparkplugs on a 4th gen LT1 Camaro.

1 big pita... lol. Looks like I good project though, if I had the confidence of dropping the k-member then Id probaly give it a shot myself.

Anything holding your engine up aside from the jacks..? lol.

ah how i dont miss doing that. That was not a fun install at all. Your block set up for the engine is um intresting to say the least. i personally would support it better once you start taking the studs out. Oh yea word of advice that makes it a little easier when putting the lt's in is grind the tops of the studs down a little it will make it easier to get a box wrench or rachet wrench on to tighten them.

Holy crap, that looks a million times easier than I thought. All simple tools and not much involved.. Maybe I will tackle this during the winter..

Umm..I just had to drop my k-member twice for my clutch swap.
It wasnt that bad, nothing like the head swap.
Good luck on it, and nice jack set up..interesting.
You'll love the sound of the L/Ts though...yumm..
