pulling the heads on an LB8

Is it hard to do with the motor in the car? I can pull it out if necessary, but of course I'd rather not.

Bleak,

Typically, a V-8 can be serviced down to the block with the engine in the car unless it is transverse mounted for front wheel drive (yuck!).

Incidentally, I think an "LB8" is a 2.8L V-6 installed in GM 'P' and 'G' body cars. A ThirdGen 305 TPI is an RPO code "LB9".

LB8 is the 2.8l v-6 in fbodies, too. That's the one I was referring to.
