Picked up a lt1/4l60e today. Need advice.
Hello guys it's been a while since I did Any research. I've just picked up a lt-1/4l60e today, its a complete engine harness and everything. So far I've tooken the exhaust manifolds off and smog pump. What route so I go? I want to paint the block and in the process make sure all internals are good. Hopefully I'll have this engine in my 92 camaro soon enough, just need a little advice on how to tear down this engine. There's 60k miles on this engine it's from a 96 camaro. Thanks for any help!

Remove Water pump then the Opti, then the timing cover and set, then treat it like a regular SBC.

Congratulations, I too have just started taking apart my LT1 . Bag and label EVERYTHING . Be careful and make sure the Optispark does not get wet. Buy a detail brush set from Harbor freight, the set is like $2.00, comes with six brushes, also use simple green or purple power to clean the engine. If you use purple power wear gloves.

Depends upon what level of inspection you think you need. If you saw it running, know the oil pressure, and did a compression check, not much teardown is required.
