Unbolt the motor mounts and jack the motor as high as you can get it.

Shit ..you shouldv'e asked me since it as my setup...

1st: undo the motor mounts and jack the motor as high as possible

on the passenger side:

- remove the starter and it should go in easily...

on the driver side

- remove the steering shaft to get the header in easily

- you will have to modify the steering shaft or it will rub on the front header tube...the tabs that connect the shaft to the rack will rub...

or

- do what I did and buy the flaming river shaft from summit (~$175) and it clears perfectly....there are 2 different shafts..make sure you buy the proper ones..there is one for power steering and one for no-power steering...


Also use a good copper or aluminum gasket for the headers and the arp HEX head bolts....it's almost impossible to use 12 points on those headers because the middle tubes are so close..;.
