Default Installing engine....with or without headers?

I am getting ready to install my motor in my 99 corvette and wondering if I should go ahead and bolt the headers, coil packs and the other little stuff? Should I bolt them up outside or inside the car?

Well if I was installing a motor in my 99 TA and was going in from the top I would not install everything, but if you are going at it from the bottom...I would attach everything except the hoses and the wiring harness......good luck

Install the block and bolt the heads on later. That is how I took amine out and how I am going to put it back in. My tranny is still in place and it is easy to bolt it to the tranny this way.

and headers go on *easy* when the heads aren't bolted down, just slide in the headers, set the heads on, then bolt down the heads and put on the headers
