Lifting motor to install header question

The passenger side header will not go in with out tilting one side if the engine. My question is it easier to unbolt the mount from the engine or the mount from the frame?

What kind of headers are they? With some creative maneuvering, you should be able to get anything but Hooker Long Tubes in without unbolting the engine.

I installed my jethot lt's without lifting the motor. I think you could do it without as long as you have the car high enough. I measured mine, and the the car was, i think, 3ft 2in off the ground. Went it very easy.

Thanks for the help, I unbolted from the block. The only pain was getting the bolt holes to line up when reinstalling the mount.
