'15 C7 Z07-Tackling an engine pull, any tips?
Hey everybody! Just want to start by saying thank you to everyone that has helped me along this path, you guys are amazing and I couldn't be more appreciative This seems like a great community.
Going to be installing my Weapon X F1 Twister cam, and Mantic Triple Clutch so I'd figured I would pull the engine. I have read through the DIY's posted on here by FYREANT (Awesome write ups by the way my brother) I noticed it was on an LT1 so just wondering if there was anything I should be aware of when pulling the Z06's heart out.
Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I currently ordered the oil pump locator tool and an ebay LSx flywheel holder bracket for clutch install. As well as the CHE rocker arm upgrades. I plan on putting the springs in myself (Any recommendations on this as I have never tackled a spring job, tools required etc)
Thanks for the support all!

I heartily recommend taking pix (good ones with a digicam) of EVERYTHING before and as you proceed! I've swapped many engines, and unfortunately, not all of them completed quickly. Pix are a life-saver for me. All the best!

Great advice, I'll snap some pics for sure. I can't believe I've never thought of that
