Well figured i would tell everyone i got my bbk long tube headers installed. Now all im doin is waitin on my transmission to be rebuilt.

For all those people who doubt long tube headers just becuase of the install. Dont. Its not as bad to install the headers as everyone makes you think. Driver side header was a piece of cake. Just slipped right in after you take one bolt out of the steering shaft. Now the passenger side was a lil more work. Take starter out and it will almost fit without jackin the motor up. Take motor mounts off and jack the motor up bout a inch. Then have someone push the intake just a little bit not enough to knock it off the jack, and it will slip right in.

Also I got the tranny out sitten on 2 cheap ramps from walmart, front only jacked up. Piece of cake.:SNSign:

LT's for me were really hard. I bought 1 3/4 inch. And they were a pain in the ass. I'd rather do H/C/I all over again then the LT's

Oh my gawd. I do a LOT of car work on my car and others. Put two engines in two different cars this weekend. No noob here. Nothing was as big of a PITA as LT's on my AODE.

Never again. Engine comes out next time.
