Install motor with Hooker LT's??
I was just thinking when I reinstall my motor its going to be intake to oilpan along with the opti and balancer. Could Hooker LT's and spark plugs go in at the same time already on the motor?

Anyone tried it?

I do not think it will go in with the longtubes on the motor. PLus you have a greater chance of scraping the coating off the headers.

Cool
Yes they will go in all at the same time if you drop the k member and lower the car over the motor. HTH

Alright, looks like Ill have to wait for the LT's. Do you guys think it would be easier to install the plugs or LT's first once the motor is in the car?

I would lay the headers in the engine bay and when you are lowering the engine down bolt them up.

You have to put the headers in first. To get the headers in it slides in right along the manifold, it won't go in with the plugs already in there.
