Only thing is I'd have to make sure they don't know where I live or they'd likely launch them through the front window of the house along with leaving a falming bag of poo on the front porch, after they'd try to install them.

haha sorry bud. Well at least now you'll know what to expect. And like others have said, there doesn't seem to be as many problems associated with the BBK's as there are with the Mac's. But installation is probably gonna suck just as much. Bring lots of beer.

lol I was swearing and screaming out of utter frustration there at one point, my landlord came out to see if I was okay haha. I guess she thought I hurt myself... Well I did bust my knuckles about 30 times, but after a while I got used to the pain. I was seriously considering giving-up and bolting that driver's side header back up but decided instead to walk-away for an hour so I could calm-down and start thinking logically. I guess it worked.

Yup. That about explains it......

I had our friend amber who is another mustang fan but is about 5'2" and very tiny arms. She got into a lot of places we couldn't. But she did break my 1/2" gearwrench

I told my brother the next time we do this we are literally removing the engine to do it.

lol
I'll do something with them some day when I have nothing better to do
The ports actually don't look like they warped much at all like Mac's are known to do. I'll see if I can find a local buyer, if not......... I might use them for target practice
