We Went a Little Too Hard.. Tearing Down LSXcalade's 427 To Find The Problem (Cutting it Close)

What happens here

The presenter moves the vehicle over a lift and secures it. He then proceeds to disconnect the charge pipe from the throttle body. Next, he unplugs various electrical connectors and undoes the AN lines (AN-fittings) from the intake manifold, specifically noting two lines at the back of the manifold that he had previously labeled. He also disconnects the throttle cable. He mentions that there is a hose connecting the manifold reference port to the underside that will need to be disconnected once the manifold is lifted.

Goal: Disconnect all external components attached to the intake manifold.

Tools and materials

  • AN Lines — Connecting fuel or oil lines to the engine
  • Charge Pipe — Air intake component attached to the throttle body
  • Electrical Connectors — Various electrical connections on the engine
  • Lift — To raise the vehicle for better access to underbody components
  • Marker or Paint Pen — Labeling hoses and connectors
  • Throttle Cable — Controls engine throttle

now I'm kind of an idiot cuz I jacked this thing up to get the wheels off and down pipes and all that stuff then you know like I said before Oh I'm going to do the intake manal first well now I'm standing on this flimsy pallet and I can't reach that the stuff I'm trying to do but am I going to lower it no cuz I'm going to to pick it back up so I'm just going to suffer and do all this the hard way that's just me but got the charge pipe pulled out unplug all this stuff um I got to undo these aend lines here get that off and there's do the two on the back I have those labeled so I'll know where they go bolts here throttle cable and then once I pick that up there's going to be a hose that connects the manifold reference Port right here to the underside and that should be that and before you say do the time lapse or where a head cam this is time sensitive I got to get it done so I'm doing my best to make a video while I'm doing it but it's not going to be a high production cuz this needs to get done I can't afford to take the time to do this I even almost forgot to film this now just bear with me I'm doing the best I can I promise you seeing a time lapse of me undoing an A in fitting is not nearly going to be as cool as what I'm going to do with this thing once it's done and in Florida so just trust me all right I've never had to unplug these either but I labeled them all with a marker paint pen because the whole harness is kind of hidden under here so you'll get to see more of this if I can get it apart you'll get to see more of how I put this thing together as I'm taking it apart be pretty cool cuz I I'm be completely honest there's going to be things that I did that I forgot it's been so long since I put this together but um it's almost like going into a time capsule here to sort of ReDiscover oh this is why I put that under there or oh this is I remember doing this now okay like this thing was a big part of my life when I was building it and I've kind of forgotten the little details a lot of little details are in and around this intake manifold when it came to tucking everything in here and making it nice so these are all disconnected now this is tight this was super hard to get together cuz this is such a tight thing
