Did you do a search for LT installs on here yet? I would look there.



Oh, you did lift the engine while trying this, right?

BTW, that is for a Fox, but there should be little to no difference.

Yeah, motor needs to come up a decent amount. The driver side is the harder side so you should be in the clear. Starter has to come out so keep that in mind, otherwise the passenger side is cake.

I had to jack my car up HIGH and then also jack the engine up till it hit the firewall to make it clear on my passenger side.

Pain in the butt... but well worth it. When you are done you will be ->

Sounds like a killer combo. Good luck with it. Mustangs have the absolute meanest sounding engines ever. That thing is going to rock.

one primary at a time is key, for the first install. But if u ever have to take them back off, prone to warping.

I've heard a lot of this but have not seen it in person. I'm thinking a lot of people over torque the header bolts without knowing it.
