Header install...
My step dads looking to get a set of lt's for his c5 and I told him I'd be able to do the install more than likely. I've got plenty of experiance working on f-bodies, I've had just about every nut or bolt out of my ta during the engine, tranny, and rear end swaps, figure a vette will probably be a bit more tricky, but I was wondering if there were any good articles on the subject or if anyone had any tips?

LG's are pretty easy, but most Kooks can be a PITA. You need to lift the motor up and take the starter out. Before I worked for a shop I did mine on the ground in my garage, just might take some time the firt time.

My LG's that I had went in from the top, both sides, rather easily. I fought for 12 freaking hours on a customers car to get 1 7/8 Kooks installed. Couldn't get the car high enough on jackstands so we had to make them go in from the top. That was fun. American Racing headers are supposed to pop in VERY easily from underneath.....it's just a matter of getting the clearance if you're on jackstands.
