I’m going to be installing my engine in the next couple weeks. As long as the builder follows through *fingers crossed*. When I do it, I’m going to be swapping to LT BBK headers. I know installing headers with the motor in is a pain. But I imagine with the motor out it makes it a little easier? I dont Imagine there’s enough clearance to drop it in with the headers already installed? I guess I’m just looking for some tips before I take this on. I know that I could just figure it out as I go, but maybe if I have an idea before hand it would make the process a little quicker. Work smarter not harder right?

I’ve read that actually. But I imagine there’s an easier way to do it with the engine out. If the engine is already out I should be able to maneuver them in without taking the whole K member out right?? Anyone done it?
