I want to put my headers on. Before installing the engine in the car. It looks like the drivers side might be a little tight by the sway bar but might drop in. Anyone done this?

Thanks

Chris

I do not think you will ever get it installed with the headers bolted down tight
You might be able to get the engine installed with one header bolted up tight (by the grace of God)
Consider trying it with the bolts and gasket installed but not tight, so it / they can move
Has A/C too?

Yep,as long as you have a leveler you'll be fine. An extra pair of hands really helps too.
