headers
Do a "search", plenty of good tips on the install. My best advice is to soak all of the old manifold and y-pipe bolts with PB Blaster and let it soak for awhile. Remove the steering linkage and the temp sensor from the drivers side head and that header should go it from the bottom. On the passenger side, the starter, alternator,dipstick tube, and possibly the valve cover will come off. The header should then go in through the top. Also, now would be a good time to do fresh plugs and wires. Some people also take the time to do new motor mounts as well with the factory exhaust out of the way.
Done this in a driveway on jack stands. Only used a lift once and done the install (SLP, BBK, Kooks) all on jackstands. Too time consuming for me to have used a lift. I'd also replace your header bolts with ARP's if you like the 12-point style as they are easier to torque down and get a 3/8" wrench around. I also use DEI heat protection for each plug boot, and replaced the wires/plugs when doing the install, recommended. Good luck.
to pick those up locally - I bought 12 stainless S.H. bolts at a fastener
shop for a grand total of $5.50. Gasket? Felpro 1470.
