Default exactly how hard is it?

it can be a bitch but it's worth it. long tubes I'm guessing? Use a lift and you might have to take the starter off and the steering knuckle. Plus all the coils and plugs on top really makes a lot of room! some are harder than others but most of them now slip right in with plenty of clearance.

I have pacesetters and mine went in very easy. Only think I had to do was cut the casting tab on the drivers side before that header would go in. I've read a lot of threads on here that people have a hell of a time, then just as many saying they're easy.

I read a lot on here, and it help me a lot. I knew just what to expect, problems I would run into, etc. There's actually more room then you think once you get into it. Take the coil packs off the valve covers and you can get to every bolt without too much trouble. and everything comes out from the bottom, so having a tall jack or a lift is a must.

It's not bad at all....I did mine by myself with a little help from the old man every now and then in my garage. Take your time and there's really not much you can mess up.
