LS1 removal from top time lapse
Last month I replaced my Ls1 with a new Ls6 with my son and neighbor. I chose to do removal from the top and followed cajuNdudes write up as a guideline. The entire installation went easier than I had expected. My son did a time lapse of the install. We didn't get the complete start to finish but did get from removal to installation so just wanted to share how it went removing from the top.

We did the swap in 4 days. That was taking our time labeling connections, cleaning parts, and enjoying some tunes. Once she fired up and had oil pressure, sounded good, and threw no codes, I swear that was the best tasting beer I ever had.

It would have gone faster if the dog had pitched in rather than laying around watching. J.K. Nice video. Convinced me I will pass on a project like that. I'm just too old to get involved anymore.

That's a lot of work you guys did there....good job on both the R&R, and the video!!
Unfortunately I couldn't come close to doing that, bending over the fenders like that would kill my back...
One question, how far off the ground was your Vette raised for the work?
I saw your son had no problem sliding in and out from under it.

We had the car about 18 inches off the ground. That seemed like enough room for us to move around.
