Yes, you do need to jack up the engine since this is the only way to get access to some of the bolts at the spring towers. But that's the easy part since it just removing the bolt from the mount and jacking the engine up a few inches.

Of course, the hard part is getting to all the header bolts, particularly the bottom ones. You might (probably will) have to remove the starter.

I would say that this job doesn't require any particularly mechanical skill other than patience. Plan on the better part of the day to do this.
This thread, so far...
