Installing passenger side header is a bitch, it seems that the collector is getting the control arm... how can we get this to fit in WITHOUT lifting the motor?

 

What kind of header is it, a long tube? When trying to get my Pacesetter long tube in thru the passenger side, I found myself spending quite awhile playing with the angles to get it just right to snake in in there. Be careful and don't force it because if you have a coated header, you'll scratch it up real quick. If that doesn't work, then yes, you may have to end up unbolting a motor mount and raising the motor a tad.

 

Its hooker LTs, i don't have an engine hoist to raise it a "tad" !!!

 

you can lift the engine a tad w/ a jack and a piece of wood under the oil pan

 

I had to get my car up off the ground way up, I have 24 inch jack stands all the way up, with it that high I could get the angle from the bottom.

 

Get the car high enough and it will snake in from the bottom
