i don't know if anyone else had trouble clearing the steering linkage on the drivers side... when i went to put mine in it wouldn't clear it a scissor jack fixed that... i put it between the wheel fender and block and i jacked it a little to one side... problem solved just a heads up... hope your good at tetris i couldn't get my car high enough so you have to wiggle, turn, and try any other trick to get the stock manifolds with the cats out... lt's are easier to slide in except the drivers side but as long as you jack it enough to slide the header in it should be fine

what brand stands do you have? I'd like to put stands under the frame but my stands arent wider than the frame and i'd be afraid of the car slipping off the stands.

I don't mean to be annoying i'm just curious, do both top parts of the V on the jackstand contact the frame or is the frame wedged in the V? I just want to know the best way to place them on the frame, this car has bigger frame boxes than my old foxbody mustang.
