Worse comes to worse, put a big piece of wood under the oil pan. Undo the motormounts and jack up the motor. You can then push the motor to the side and have plenty of room to install the headers. This is what you do when installing long tubes as well.

If you only unbolt a motor mount on one side and try to tilt it you might tear the other motor mount out. Just unbolt both of them.

I had to unbolt a motor mount to get my driver's side in. Its the quickest way... I had a friend telling me to dis connect the steering linkage, and another tell me to remove all the brake equipment!
thank god JohnB passed by and told me about the motor mount method! [patriot]
