gmblack3 - Thanks for the link!!

A decent write up on the install, looks like I might soon be wearing some skinned knuckles! :eek:

It seems the Kooks perform well though and now with a GP going on at a super price, it's hard to pass on them.

The LG's seem to install easier, but for $500, my knuckles will heal just fine! :D

Good write up except when I installed mine I didn't remove the valve covers.
And they both slipped in without beating them in, just raise 1 side of the eng at a time.
And the steering shaft does not have to be completly removed just the lower end disconnected from the rack and tied out of the way.
Remove the left coolent sensor and the oil filter and pressure sending unit (2 bolts).
Really I don't think it was that bad of a job, certainly not as bad as the 67 big block Barracuda I used to own.
In fact IMHO there are none that I have seen out there that fit any better. :D
