Yes and since I have 8 screws in my back from getting disk fusion back in 2010, it's a little tricky leaning over for to long. Since the car is lower now too I had to take a lot of breaks, but I got it done.

that will slow ya down a bit. hope your not to sore.

i just did mine, and i have to say i thought about putting it on ramps before i started, but blew it off, being 6'6" my back and legs were pretty damn sore for a few days afterwards. lots of leaning over and my hips are way higher then the fenders.

I usually just stick my jack under the car so i can move it up and down depending on which part i'm working on.

HAHA, my little floor jack will not fit under my car so I had to grab a scissor jack to get it high enough to slide the floor jack under and lift it up to drop the oil and then flush some cheap oil through the motor. Amazingly though I looked at the flushed oil and there was NOT one drop of dex cool floating on top. Guess I got lucky when I pulled the LIM off and no fluid made it into the pan.

I have a low profile racing jack so i have no problems getting it under the car. The coolant usually settles to the bottom not the top.

Well sh1t!!! Good thing I flushed it out with some cheap oil.

i took my lower hose off the engine, and the dog bones, and rocked the engine back and fourth a bunch of times, till coolant stopped coming out the timing cover, then took the lim off nice and level like, not a drop spilled, and i didn't change my oil, its only 500 miles old and still looks golden.

Might wanna do another oil change in a few weeks just to make sure you got it all.

I let the car drain over night after I pulled the lower and upper hose. I also lifted the LIM off nice and level. This is my first 3.8 LIM, but I have done many SB chevys and SB fords.

Changed my oil cleaned my air cleaner and swapped throttle bodies. Gonna try and get a wash and wax in if my air filter dries.

It would not look the same, cause i would have to overlay one color over another, so shades no, im going to see if i can come close, but dont think so.

She said she can get it printed for $250
