Changing Heads questions
Can the heads be changed with the engine still in the car? It's on a 2001 z28 if that matters.

Its horrible! Dropping the engine seems to be easier and less straining.

it aint that bad,,,if you lift the car front end up lots with jack and stand,,then remove the water pump and steering pump and radiators,,you can manage to be in the engine bay and up and close to all the install and removals of heads,,
I did mine,,and cant say I suffered any pain,,other than a few cuts on my knuckles...etc
Its easy and the heads are not that heavy..just take your time and do it corectly
