I hate headers! Ask David how long it took us to do his shorties on his V6 :*bonk(:

So, how about installing headers when the engine is already out for some other reason?

Cant put both headers on and drop engine in the car. Wont clear, tried it. If you have a tubular k member it makes alot easier but still sucks, especially on a cobra. Even with tubular k, will not drop in with headers in place. Now shorties are the exception. But shorties are a dyno proven waste of money and time for 1-3hp. Always go at least midlength or longtubes or stay stock.

undoo the motor mounts, support the motor then drop the k-member about a foot. life will be much easier after that. also you can get a socket to fit the bolts with a swivel built into the socket from sears. i highly recommend this as well.

Yeah did the headers on mine like that. Got under it put an engine brace across the the towers and dropped the K member. Did it in a couple hours just taking my time.
