Default Starter removal

Any remove the starter from a LT1 and left the headers on?

If so, how did sneak it by the headers?

By headers do you mean stock exhaust manifolds or aftermarket headers?

On mine, I just undid the bolts, pulled it from the engine block and after a little wiggling managed to get it out. I wish I had a better description of it, but it ended up being easier than I thought it would be.

So you got them off without removing aftermarket headers?

I dont have LTH on my Vettes but, I have removed the started and did not have to remove the shorties or manifolds. Requires maneuvering and ENSURE you disconnect the battery.

It'll come out, just keep wiggling it. You may need to bend the transmission cooling lines a little bit.
