Sam1647545489 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Can anyone please explain why GM decided to place the pickup tube bolt for the oil pump on fbody ls1 motors on the back of the tube making you have to drop the oil pan to get to it while in a vette its on the front and easily accessible. I understand they have different pans and so forth but I still dont see why they couldnt put it in the front on the fbody as well. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU......

Guest Removed Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 ive heard of guys dropping them in the pan on a cam swap.... (the bolt that is) hell if im doing them, i pull the pan anyway, and toss rod bolts in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 you can drop the pan on a fbody enough to access the bolt with out pulling it out. It will drop enough to sit on the subframe, I am just wondering why they do that when on a vette they put it in the front making it so much easier. Alot of people drop them in the pan. It was alil nerve racking to do but with alil ziptie trick, it went in easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I did my car, and zach's car without dropping the pan, it was a pain in the ass but it can be done without dropping the pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
