Very good info. right now my L36 doesnt have the topswap on yet, but i have had no problems changing plugs back there. i do pull the STB for more access though. then again the engine bay is a little diff on the 1.5 Gen Wbody vs the 2nd gen Wbody most have here. i noticed that starters are a pain to pull vs on my Monte. the GP's lower radiator skirt blocked the bolts on the starter. my Z it was so easy. but back to the plugs... i would suggest knowing where each wire goes esp if it is a new to you car. tear it all apart and put it together correctly.Originally Posted by cerick08GP
Actually, not that any advice has been wrong, but the easiest way to “rock” the engine forward is take the bolts out of the two dog bones. Pull the engine forward just using your hand. Then here is the trick GM made just for you. If you notice the engine mount has an extra little area that you can re-insert the bolt (to hold the engine forward) and wham bam thank you mamma no strap needed.If you do it the way GM intended you won’t hurt a thing, and changing your plugs will be a bit easier.
Do yourself a favor and only replace one “piece” at a time. You would be amazed how many ppl come on here desperate because they messed up the plug wire routing.
