Default torque converters installation problems

How many people had problems getting there transmission out due to the headers stopping the motor from leaning down enough to get the top bolts?? thats the problem im having, im wondering am i gonna have to just remove the headers for the time being

Well as anyone would have told you already, headers should have come AFTER the converter. But in the real world, like you and I live in...take the 1 3/4 off.

What are the headers hitting on?

I had the trans in and out of my car a few times this year and never had a problem.

drop the bolts on the k member a bit that will give you half an inch to an inch extra for clearance might work thats what i did to get to that top damn bolt
