drivers side header
drivers side header I'm installing a set pacesetter headers that I've had sitting in a box for two years 
. I already slid the passenger side in, but I'm having a hard time with the drivers side. These are the old version of pacesetters 
so its getting stuck on that tab on the engine block, my question is has anybody been able to drop them from the top? It looks like if I took off the coil pack rail and maybe the valve cover it may drop in, anybody done it?

The car is already 2 1/2`ft of the ground. My buddy says we might be able to jack the motor up just a little without having to loosen the motormount, is this possible or do I have to loosen the motormount?
you can try that, But I think you only have to loosen the mounts on the drivers side, it'll only take 10 extra mins instead of trying to force them in, They should install from the bottom
I also remembering having to remove a exhuast shield on the PS .
Although ever install is different

some people grind the tab off. Dpes yours get caught kinda between the engine and the firewall?? because mine did, but with a little tap on the firewall and enough force you can push the headers up in there. it actually seemed pretty obvious that that was the only way to go when i was doing it so your situation may be different.
