I raised the motor by placing wooden blocks on the jack, then lifting under the oil pan. Make sure the blocks are falt and wide enough for the pan. I beleive I only needed to take out the bolt that is in the middle of the mount, then just drop the mount and raise the motor. Hope this helps.

I managed to get my car high enough that I could take the header in at an angle from the bottom and get it in place quite easily.

I started behind the k-member, with the header almost on it's side (head flange pointed up) and angled it up, then forward and up while rotating the header periodically until it was all the way in the car. No lifting of the engine for me.
