RE: engine out -- tranny in?
By salid - 02/19/2003 9:20:33 PM; IP 24.116.146.86
I did something similar to this last year. I started trying to install the headers without removing the engine which fpa says you can do, but I screwed up and didn't follow their instructions correctly. I ended up taking the transmission loose and lifting the engine about 5" and sliding the engine from side to side to get the headers in place and the bolts started, then dropped it back down and fought to get the bolts tight. While laying on top of the engine to tighten the bolts, I noticed that there looks to be enough clearance to install the motor with the headers on by going straight down. The "semi-shorty" headers look like they will clear the firewall ok. I haven't tried it yet but that's what I'm going to try next time. BTW, the thing I didn't do according to fpa's instructions is to rock the engine up and then remove the engine mount from the engine. Their instructions were actually pretty clear, I just didn't bother to read the whole thing. One more BTW, I really like the headers.
This thread, so far...
