Not practical to do without a lift.
Like I said, this could have been cut down to 5-6 hours pretty easily the second time around. We fought a lot of things that shouldn't have been done during the previous motor installation.
Totally think this "GM Mechanic" that built and installed this motor was an idiot. I noticed it's a new trans, torque converter is a 1600 stall out of a cop car, however the motor was pieced together terribly. Mahle pistons, vortec rods/used vortec rod bearings, stock LT1 crank and LT1 main bearings into an LT4 block. The bearings are a wild guess but the water marks on the bearings that weren't severely damaged didn't match up with the rod/main caps.
