The ? if you will fit under the vette,that depends what you had for breakfastBut if you do, get 3 ton jack stands if you don't have them already,there taller,piece of cardboard and a good creeper and a florescent light,they don't get that hot,,o ya,a piece of wood to put your stands on,so they don't dig into your slab.I never need any special tools,but then again I have almost every tool made,I've got tools I have never used or don't know how to useShould take about 4-5 hours.Also another trick is after all the lines are hooked up and before you install the belt and start the engine, add the power sterring fluid and then spin,by hand your power sterring pump to allow the fluid to make it's way through the system,then hook your belt,double check all connections then start her up,keep your eye's on the fluid until it's full,allow time for all the air to get out of the system.When your done you will be all smilesGood luck with the project,take photos before and after.If you need my help,you got my #.O ya,might be tight place between the power sterring pump and your headers
Very cool, exactly the information I needed. Paragon says the whole system is already in transit so I'll try to prep the swap with a removal of the manual steering on Wednesady (new system to be in on Thursday).

Will go get a set of RV jack stands on Wed too. Outta be a fun project with bootay kickin results.

I'll call ya if I get in over my head. Thanks

Ken
