when mine was done, we just jacked up the motor and they slid in (took some messing around but they went in) and i had an auto which isnt the best for clearence [&:]. I would imagine dropping the K member would make it a lot easier.

K member drop FTW!!! I've done it both ways and dropping the kmember made a hell of a difference. Of course it's no picnic putting it back in it's place and then you need to get an alignment ASAP.But the ease of getting to all of the bolts without restriction is more than worth it.

yeah dude hope for the best but plan for the worst, ive never tried pullin the k member but i do kno the suspensions a bitch, andso is pullin the motor. so it still sounds like droppin it out the bottom is your best bet. sounds like your no mechanical retard so u shouldnt hav too much trouble. good luck!

If you plan on putting an aftermarket clutch in that car, i'd suggest you do it now before you put the LT's on. It will cost now, but save you a PITA later on down the road. Trust me, just went thru it.$$$$$$$$$$$
