Yes, I already searched the archives and did not find a specific answer. I know the masters out there can help me out.

Okay, Fox stang long tube header install. BBK 1 5/8. I got the engine jacked up (by the oil pan is the only way I know). Starter is removed. I have the driver side header on, ready to rock. Engine is jacked up and tilted as far to driver side as possible. I fed the header down to the opening where the starter used to be and it is a perfect fit and will almost drop down. The flange is hitting the darn emissions hard line coming from the back of the heads .

A buddy told me you can unbolt the fittings from the back of the head and it slides right out, anyone have anything else they can give me? Thanks for your help! I will finish this install tonight!!amnit: .

Thanks!
