Can the pistons be pulled from the LS1 without removing the motor
from the car?

Thanks

Jim

Thanks for the help. I have been looking at a 2001 with 5000 miles. It was a built late in production so that may not be an issue. Just trying to plan ahead. I was not sure if you could get the pan off with out taking the motor out. I have rebuilt a lot of small blocks but never an LS1.
My 91 Coupe will be gone in about a week and need another Corvette to fill the empty space in the garage.

Thanks Again

Jim
