Dropping the K member is the best way to keep your sanity. Use a engine hoist to hold the engine and be sure to support the engine from the bottom once the K member is removed for safety. Be sure not to let the engine move to much so you don't hurt any wiring. :Word:
damn that's a bit of work..

I have been working on this install as well. i have a 97 gt and it is up for the winter. i have already removed the passenger side manifolds without lifting the motor or dropping the K-Member i am also half way done with the drivers side.
it depends on how much time you have and what your setup is going to be on the car. My car is not a daily driver soi removed the A/C which frees up the passenger side allows you to get to all but 2 bolts. the other two you have to remove the starter to get to. Im not sure about the drivers side yet, so far i had to remove my oil filter, hoping to finish that as soon as i get some time.
if i am able to do this withot dropping the K-Member or lifting the motor then i will make a write up. Also if you have the right tools it will help.

or you could do it the real easy way. have a dealership drop the entire engine/K-member from the bottom of the car for some other problem, and throw them on that way. we saw a blue mach1 on a lift at a ford dealership with the motor just sitting on the ground for a head change. said the guy was buying LT's to throw on before they reinstalled the motor. funny thing is he wouldnt be charged a dime because they had to remove the stock manifolds for the head change anyway. and it was under warranty.

I like Pro3 and all I got was this crappy CT.
Drop K. Any time you would save by not dropping is going to be comsumed by trying to sneke header in getting starter out etc.
Infact, i'm not how people do it without dropping K. to tighten top rear few bolts on assenger side was nasty enough with K dropped.

with mine it was pain..a lot of F#(king pain.
then i started the install.
more pain. lots more pain.
then a rock hit me in the head and i passed on a MACh1 motor and put a 5.4 3v in mine.
even more pain. too much. hopefully the pain will end soon. my advice...easy is easier than really hard. go with easy.
