How did you put your ls1 into your car?
ok simple question guys... just looking to see how everyone else did it. i'm prolly gonna opt for option 1, but if 2 is easier i might change my mind.

1- install kmember on body, drop in engine/trans from top
2- install k memeber on engine and lower body onto drivetrain
3- install k member on body, drop engine from the top, and trans from the bottom.
