Pulling the LS3 out through the top
Anyone here pulled the motor with cherry picker vs dropping the entire cradle? I don't have a lift and I am starting a swap in the next couple weeks just want to make sure I am not setting myself up for failure

Out the top is the way to go. Very easy.
Get the TPIS Happy Hooker Lift Plate - made it a lot easier http://www.tpis.com/parts/view/67

On 5th Gens out the top is easier, its not like a 4th gen where out the top is nearly impossible.

I don't know about that. Wasn't much of a pain getting my engine to slide onto the trans. I'd much rather slide the engine onto the trans than pull the exhaust and transmission (and reinstall) while my car is on jack stands in the garage. I've done it before by myself and it SUCKS.
