Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Ok this drives me nuts when working on Brians car/engine. When we pulled engine everthing seemed like Metric bolts. Now that we are on engine there seems to be a mix of metric and SAE bolts. I know some are very close but? Is there and sort or rule or logic here?

when i did my cam swap it was a mixture of metric and sae, its just the stupid way it is, gotta bite the bullet and just go grab a diffrent wrench or socket. but yes very frustrating at times.
All I can say is welcome to the world of Car parts built in multiple countries.

Howdy Mr. Meissen! Welcome to the site. I did not realize the engine would be mixed SAE and Metric. I would think everything else would be before the motor components.
You will use:
10mm - 15mm & 3/8 - 5/8 sockets & open-end wrenches
The bolts that hold the motor in are 18mm I believe.

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.

Very simple explanation for it really...it's legacy data that filters through from old designs.....you still had that on the LT1 4th gens...however, you did not have it on the LS1 4th gens because by the time the LS1 came through design GM had gotten their act together and switched over to using all metric.
