I tried to put the motor in with the trans and long tubes attached...Not going to happen for me at least...I took the driver side long tube off (cause that one is easy to install with motor in car) and it went right in....

Did you get the other one in? Did you have the steering shaft disconnected or anything?

Steering shaft was out of the way...I just sat the other header down in there before sitting the motor in....
