yeah lt1. driverside is a joke. its out in under 40minutes easy. passenger side is a little tricky. removal of the alternator is a must. access to a lot of tools and a lift helps. it was either the third or fifth bolt back doesn't accept a socket but i was able to fit a stubby open end wrench in there. i was using pb blaster to break the rust up the whole week before. one air line to check valve broke. waiting for that, my spark plugs, and msd wires before i continue. i think most everyone replaces the dipstick so i got one, but i haven't seen the need to yet. they usually break or something. i have midtubes by pacesetter goin in too. the driverside drops in from the top, passenger from underneath. fitting the y pipe to the cat is a little tricky and has to be welded. so far though it wasn't bad...so far. oh and #3 spark plug has like no clearance with the new headers. you need to do the vacuum line trick to get it going, then wrench tight. i searched around and there are some great write ups/how-to's on what to do and expect. definitely worth the read.
