Help on LPP header install . . .

Alright well I got the drivers side in just fine. Haven't put the steering linkage back together yet so I'm not sure about that. . . But otherwise not problems.

So help a guy out . . . what does everyone recommend. All tips and advice are welcome and appreciated

also, you might have to move the steering column over a little bit to get it to clear the headers

second both above, if you remove the starter and jack the motor up a bit, you can get it in there.

Remove the starter, remove the motor mount bolt and jack the motor up a bit.

remove the starter, oil dipstick tube and alternator. Should slide in, atleast thats what worked on my pacesetter LT install. Should not be too much different. Some have had to dent the fire wall for clearance.

gotta go from the inside of the car and start unbolting all the bolts that are connected to the inside of the firewall. the steering column will then be able to be moved freely. i placed some washers (like 4-5) between the bolt and firewall so it could get an angle on it when i screwed it back in
