I have no idea how much a clutch install would run but I do know how much the headers would cost to install - free (or close to it if you buy a twelve pack and have a buddy over to help you) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Headers are a piece of cake.

You should get a hold of Speed Inc ----->

They are in Illinosis and they do installs.

If you are mechanically inclined a header install really is a piece of cake. Although me and a group of my friends (would be considered mechanically inclined) did do a mac header install on Ben's 99 SS. It took us about 9 hours to do the job, but..... we had 2 cases of bud light and our women at the shop too. That kind of slowed down the process.

My second header install was on my car and it only took me 3 and a half hours to do by myself without the aid of air tools.
