Quick dumb header question

Installing bbk equal length shorties, do i have to lift the engine to get em in there or are they supposed to fit just fine..

Shorties, you should be able to bolt them right in.

hmm iv been out trying for like an hour..they just wont go in there lol..i was really hoping they would go right in since iv got all my new stuff hooked up and bolted on, intake, accessories, pullies, electric fan rad, everything.....was trying to avoid taking everything apart again argh.. lol

No worries. On some cars the equal lengths slide right in, but on most of them you have to unbolt the motor mounts and give the engine a shove to either side to get them in. You don't have to undo everything except maybe the intake where it meets the throttle body. It literally takes about 5 minutes to unbolt the motor mounts and then you can have a buddy push on the engine while you drop it in. I was able to push mine and slide the headers in at the same time, but I didn't have a tranny in the car at the time.
