Just wondering if anybody has put a motor back in a new edge with long tubes on or if they had to put motor in, then put long tubes on. Thanks

I'll have to go in the top without hood on. I wish I had a lift so I could do it that way. I'am not sure if its going to work. I put the shorties on with the k-member in the way along with everything else, so I can imagine about how hard the long tubes are going to be. Thanks David

i installed the engine with LT's on. its really not that bad. just tough to put the tranny in. but i did it. if i were you i would try to intall it with the tranny on first. and if it doesnt go than unbolt it and then stick it in after.

but it was pretty hard to put the tranny on. but it is possible. just have to be really careful you dont bust up the clutch.

the motor fell right in, the LT's didnt get in the way!

good luck

Thanks. I think were going to try to leave transmission in the car. Sounds like its going to be close, so will find out, it will work either way.
