Mod help
Not to take business away from anyone, but based on this thread, why wouldnt this guy be able to do something as simple as a header install himself? Its 16bolts and possibly a lil hammering on the driver side. Thats basic stuff right there.
Ive just heard its tight and hard to install headers on these cars.. Old school days ya ive installed headers and all there simple but there was more room in the engine bay too.. Anyone want to help?
Any long tube install requires the car to be jacked up pretty high and you have to undo (forget what side, its been a while) one of the motor mounts to jack up one side of the motor. It may vary from different header manufactures... but yeah, its tight!

Yep, he's right. sometimes you have to do that. My 1st set of headers slid right into place (after I did some grinding on the k-member), but my 2nd set required me to loosen the steering linkage. Not a big deal, but my 2nd time around I had access to a lift & air tools (and another set of hands helping).
And like he said earlier, you do have to get it tuned!
