I'm old school 'Tech...you know that...and I drive 3 different vehicles.
I just happen to have a Mustang in my sig. There are plenty of people
ere that wouldn't mind having it...even thought it's just a Mustang. I'll get
a LSx vehicle again at some point.

But then you had to get under the car, fish the headers in, put the trans in, etc. I havent done one form the top but it seems like it would be harder than from the bottom but Im not saying which way is easier when I havent done it both ways.

There are openings in the bumper support (at the ends its open) that the chain's hooks can slip in if you pull the headlights out. No bolts, no fear of a bolt breaking or bending. You can see the area in this pic
