[Diy_efi] pulling '98 motor

[Don Berry]

Steve, I did a cam and head change on a '99 Camaro last weekend and we
used the bolt holes in the center of the heads above the exhaust ports.
These are threaded VERY deep into the aluminum heads and should be
strong enough if you use long enough bolts. There are actually three
sets - one in the front, the center and a set in the back.=20

Be aware that EVERYTHING on this engine is metric. If your metric tools
don't fit, figure out why because GM sent it out that way.

This will make a killer street motor, especially with the Vortec intake.
I'm planning on using a 6.0L version in my '68 Camaro.

Good luck!
Don

It's got the plastic vortec intake.  '98 is the SBC vortec.  It's a
wrecked pickup, the motor is going in my Monte Carlo after a rebuild.=20
Maybe there's something to lift by under the plastic intake.  I would
imagine the engine was put in completely assembled, but I can't see
how.  I guess I'll take off the exhaust manifolds and lift by those
bolts.  It's a rollover, and I really want to get it out of my
driveway.  If someone out there has a '98 service manual and could check
on what it says that'd be great.
