Can you do a headswap on a '02 GT with the motor in the car??

Just wondering how you all do it yourselves! If you can, I'm going to make some phone calls right now.

Thanks!

really!?!?! Are you sure? Anyone else? You just opened new doors for me to blow my money! Pulling the engine was the only thing stopping me from a nasty ported headswap!
I think I love you!

Ahhh your making me blush.
Here's some proof. This is a 99 GT...

As far as jacking the engine up I'm not sure.

you can't jack up the motor unless you unbolt the tranny. taking the heads off with the engine in the bay is the least hassle way, and it's easy.
