Hes talking lt1. I’m talking LS1. Ls1 is still a bitch to do. I can get mine done in about 2 hours. Gotta remove the air tubes, remove 6 outta 8 coil packs (1998 had individually screwed in CP’s) then you gotta pull the wires from the plugs which can be touchy if your working around LT headers. Then you gotta use different sized extensions pulling the plugs from in between the headers. Then you factor in the time where you make a few “OH shits” where you drop miscellaneous bolts and plugs and get them stuck in abyss that is the engine bay. Done that procedure four times in the last 2 weeks. My knees are sore still from hyper extension. ---
