My friend and I plan to install a new engine in my 91 Z28. Is there any tips or tricks on the install? I've never changed a motor in a third gen and wondering if there are any secrets or good tips of advise?
And what about the break in period. Since I have a roller cam, do i need to break the cam in? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

 

I just did this twice, once in 91 camaro, once in 92 firebird. And in the infinite wisdom which I aquired, I'd suggest:
#1 Take out the distributor before you pull the motor, don't risk bashing it into the firewall.
#2 Take off the wiper motor/ESC module. It seems to get in the way.
#3 Be careful not to miss any grounds on the back of the cylinder heads.

That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to email me if you have any questions/emergencies.

Roller cams don't have to be broken in. Once the engine is in, I was told to change the oil after 100 miles, and to baby the engine for the first 500 miles.
