Default the longest 14 hours

I just want to let everyone know that I have a friend with FLP headers(easiest install) and I have heard about how hard SLP lt's were. Hooker headers(easy from what I'm told) but mac headers while not as hard as slp lt, still proved to be a Bitc*. A buddy of mine looked all over for the best way to do it. but we had to make our own way after all. I stared on sunday got them on and all buttoned up on monday. happy with them, can feel the SOTP diff. but if anybody would like some tpis with them I'd be glad to offer some help, or compare notes on them

Yeah sure, we can laugh about it now <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> However, while we were <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" /> to get the old stuff off and trying to get the engine motor mount to seat properly was no laughing matter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I'm sure glad that nightmare is over <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

14 hours? Ouch!!! Me and a friend did my SLPs in 5 hours. Of course he has done many header installs before, but this was his first for the SLPs and we agreed that they were not fun. We had to drop the tranny mount and push the tranny towards the opposite side that we were trying to squeeze the headers in because they would not fit by the bell housing! Even SLPs instructions said to do this. Anyway, you got them in and that's the important thing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
