Or do you still have to jack up the motor to get them to fit?

Thanks

 

A lift would make it much easier!!!
good luck.

 

Yes you still will probably have to jack up the motor on one or both sides and remove the steering link but a lift will help ALOT.

 

I've found the best mod for longtubes is a tubular K-member. I was able to remove my old longtubes using a jackstand and handtool in less than 2 hours.

 

a lift makes anything easyer

 

yes a lift would. don't forget new motor mounts while you are tilting the motor. sometimes the headers will bang the floorboard.

 

I think it would not. I kept having to come out from under and jump up on the engine, and back and forth. I think with the car lifted this could be a problem.

Plus, I would rather be on my back tugging and pulling on stuff than have to look up and hold stuff above my head all day.

 

Agreed. I found it easiest to have two jackstands as high as possible when I took my LTs out. I've also found it's very hard to adjust rockers with a lift, so I wouldn't say a lift makes everything easier.

 

You need it up at least 22 inches for the pass side header (and the motor raised off the mounts.)

 

I put my passenger side header (hooker lt) in from the top. The driver's side went in from underneath.

I had the car up on ramps, then, using a jack, I put about 6" of bricks between the ramp and the tire. The wheel was probably about 16-18" off the ground.

 

so do u have to move the engine to get in the headers

 

I had to unbolt the passenger side engine mount and jack the engine up about 2 inches for the passenger side header.
