That's what I ended up doing to be able to get my pass. side in. It's not hard or anything, just something little that takes a little extra time. It will make it slide in so much easier that way... 
I always jack the motor up using the jack and wood technique but I place the jack under the front of the tranny pan. It works either way though. It makes more room that most think. :tu:

thanks, i have the headers in, it wasn't too bad. but now im having the hardest time lining up the header bolts. my friend and i gave up last night at 1 and im not gonna do anything until sat. im way 2 frustrated with these damn bolts.
The easiest way to get the header bolts to line up on my car was to get the 2 outter most started and work my way in and once I got all of them started, torque them down in sequence.
