only cracked in 45 min today got the exhaust out (y pipe) removed the condenser cleaned the 1 ton of dirt off the radiator and removed it along with the bumper.
picking up the hoist tomorrow to lift the body which will make it easier to loosenthe torque arm and then all i need to remove is the pcm and ground wires.
pop quiz how many groundwires are connected to the motor
i know it doesnt look like much improvement from yesterday but a thread is worthless without pictures

I pulled the motor out of my TA in a few hours, came out the top. Removed the crank pulley for more clearance. New engine went back in the car in a half a day.

Are you trying to determine the bearing failure was due to a lack of flow through the filter?

I would still change the pilot while its out again.
Good luck. Sometimes finding a visual confirmation will play mind game with you.
"Is that it!? No I think this is....... But thats just like this one ! "
Good luck ! Take pictures.

A stand should handle an LS1 no problem. I think my stand has an 800 lb max and that could handle a SBC no problem.

Thats how we do every 4th gen fbody. If u tilt the front of the motor upwards when pulling it out with engine hoist u can leave the balancer on. Only takes a few hours too. No need to bleed brakes or do a wheel alignment. Plus u can leave the trans in. And installation is way easier not to mention way faster.

got the crank out
for stock bearings they dont looktoo bad.
the crank has a hairline groove whoch barely cathes a ginger nail. the bearings have a wear spot on the same place in every singl one.
nothing spun thankgod.
i think the crank is out of balance.
if i do need to get a new one will a ls2 crank bolt right up.

A 4 point (non T-bar style) engine stand will hold a fully dressed cast iron big block with no issue.

Will be fine with an LS1.
Hate to say it but it sure sounds like this was in fact a transmission problem.
