Header Install Concerns So today I planned on working with my buddy on getting my pacesetter lt's on the 2000 z28. Well I got to his house and he decided against attempting the install because he thought there were too many technicalities that may come up. He is more the mechanic than I am and I wouldnt dare attempt it without his help. The main concerns were having to clearance the K member and also having to jack up the motor. So I need some help here cas I really dont wanna pay 300+ bucks to do this damn install. Anyone who has put Pacesetter Lt's with emissions in, how hard was it truly? How mechanically inclined must one be? Do we have to jack up the motor to do this install? How risky/difficult to clearance the K member? Any suggestions much appreciated!
i started it today and im 16 and the headers just go right in with just a little coaxing! i didnt ramove ne thing but the spark plugs and now thats my problem got the headers on but kanty get the spark plugs back in so im kinda stuck!

i installed slp's lol that is an achievement in itself lol and im 18 but yes you do have to unboltthat little black transmission crossmember there is 4 bolts holding it to the bottom of the car remove the 4 bolts but b4 you do that have a jack on the tranny itsely and then you can move the engine and tranny bout inch on each side so you get a lil movement. i just installed mine today lemme know if i can help you
My earliest memory of wrenching was sticking my arm into the methanol tank on a late model (at the dirt track) to retrieve a rag washed into the tank from the fuel funnel. I was so small, I could go in all the way to my shoulder. 
I've knew a few younger people who knew their ****, but a lot more who didn't have a clue, and a TON more who thought they did. I got my car at 17, but I'd been working on dirt-track/motorcross **** for a pretty good while beforehand. Working on stuff like this is pretty simple, just takes time and the right tools.
I've noticed a fine line between people who can do the work, and other people who can't operate a ******* flat-head screwdriver. There's enough resources on the net to help you do anything with these cars, and a great bunch of guys to back you up if you run into trouble.
