Rehab of the 1992 Blk on Blk - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

When I put the LT5 back in the '90 Z I used to own, I tried it with the injector housings on, but it wouldn't clear the crossbar in the front. I didn't have the exhaust manifolds on either. I had to not only remove the IH's, but also the wiper motor from the firewall to get the necessary clearance.

That was with the harmonic balancer on too. If that was off, would have more clearance, but putting the HB on with the engine installed looks like a giant pain in the a$$.

EDIT: I see you got it in, wow, I'm surprised. I wonder why I had so much trouble with mine?
