first get the car up in the air as far as you can get it. Then unbolt the 2 large motor mout nuts and raise the engine to buy you some extra space. install the drivers side LT from the bottom. you can also un bolt the steering shaft and move it out of the way for extra clearence

Use a block of wood as cushion. Same way as changing motor mounts.

I've seen the steering shaft go in between the pipes of the headers before.
Dont think bbk is like that tho

Easiest way to install the driver side is do remove the steering shaft and disconnect the clutch cable then install from the top, this is without the use of a cherry picker to lift the engine..For the passenger side simply remove the starter to insert the header then re-install the starter..I did it all ready..thanks guys for your input.
