In the midst of the pi swap and .....???

[fooey]

Ok, finally finished porting the heads and decided to do the swap this weekend.

Got almost everything off now, but, how in the hell, do you get the header nuts off?

I can easily get to some of them, but...??

Anyone ever installed any headers on a 4.6 in a stang?

I think you need to be plastic man so you can contort your appendages and get them in those tight places to undo those nuts....

(getting the feeling I should not have started this.... :roll: )

u hafta go in from on bottom
remove the starter
might even hafta "un mount" the engine for room

its tough....but do-able

When I did my swap we pulled the whole engine......it was hella easier that way.....then I just put my headers on while it was out..........

Well, got them out attached to the heads.
Just unbolted the headers at the collectors to the x-pipe, came right out, slicker than butter....

yea, if you put lt's on, just leave the stock manifolds and attatch the lts to the header while they are off the car
