undo the motor mounts and jack the motor up for clearance. from there, it's all luck for how long it takes you

why would you do that? you don't need to, that would just take more effort and more time.

I put my Pacesetters on a few months ago.

1. Have a lift, it will make your job so much easier
2. if you have access to a torch, just torch the stock manifold/ypipe connecting bolts off
3. 10mm 1/4 socket and rachet are your best friends, especially the last manifold bolt on the passenger side.

Passenger side header slides right up in..no problems

Driver side header, I unhooked my steering column, moved it out of the way and put the header in...hooked the steering column back up and away I went. 5-7 minute job.

If you are planning on doing this job on jack/jackstands...good luck...I did one set of headers for my friend that way and it totally sucked.

If you're in/near Lancaster PA and need help, PM me...hope all is well and good luck with your install!
