ok i am finally finished with my engine build and am going to be putting it all back in the car soon. my question is, should i get the headers and set them in the car before putting the engine in, or can they be installed fairly easily after everything is in the vehicle? i dont have the headers yet, and wanted to go ahead and started getting everything in, but it would be best to lay the headers in first then i will do that. thanks. oh yeah i am going with the pacesetter lt's and y-pipe if that makes a diff. on whats easier. thanks

 

Put the motor in the car and then put the headers on. Trying to lay them in wont really work.

 

You'll have enough trouble just getting the motor in there, with the big bulky long tubes in the way, that will only make things more difficult.

 

I put my headers on the engine and then put the whole thing in. Worked out great for me and made things alot easier. But I guess it depends if you took the engine out from the top or the bottom.

 

i went from the top.... and i have been thinking that putting them on last might be better. thanks for the tips.
