To move the motor, you have to remove the long bolts from either ( or both ) sides of the motor mount(s). Then get a jack and jack the motor up to move it how you need it to slip the headers down in. When I had to jack my engine up, I got a big piece of plywood(to distribute the force, so you dont put a dent/hole in the pan) and put that on top of the jack then jacked it up. It worked out nice, and it DID NOT do anything to the oil pan. Im sure there are other wasys, but this worked for me.
