All that have taken their engine's out...

When i pulled my stock motor....i left the stock exhuast manifolds on it and there was enough room to pull the motor with them still on...

I have hooker long tubes...just wondering if i'll be able to mount them before i put the motor back in the car to save some extra work....or will i have to drop the motor back in place and then install the headers?

I figured i'd save some time if i'd be able to mount the headers on the motor while its out of the car...its a lot easier then once its back in the car...

did you pull the motor from the top or the bottom? if you took it out the bottom then you might be able to put it back in with the headers attached. If you did it from the top then you probably won't. they're not hard to get in and out anyhow when you have the motor unbolted. you'll just have to get the front end up off the ground a bit.
