Header install - Drop the engine?
I'm getting ready to install some pacesetters and have heard of install times of up to 20 hours whereas dropping the engine out the bottom could take only 4 hours. Would it be more efficient to drop the engine for a header install?

If you have the space and the tools go for it.
I installed my Hooker LTs with the engine in the car but the tranny was out for a rebuild. It did take about 16 hours all told but I was doing it by myself.

As long as you got the car REAL high up in the air, you should be able to tackle it without dropping hte motor. all you need is a couple of competent friends and enough beer and pizza to last the day.
