Default LT install update

So I spent yesterday from like 2-6 adn today from like 2-6 working on my LT install. So far I've got everything off. I had my passenger side header almost all the way on. I had all the bolts tightened down but one and I couldn't get it and I took the header off becuase I realized that I forgot to put in the O2 sensor and it was gonna be a pain to put in where it was. So I just took it out (bad idea) Now i've decided that I'm going to get new stock gaskets (mine are kinda rusted and 10 years old) but overall I am supprised at how easily things seem to be coming in and out. I Should get it all put back together tomorrow and be done! Here are some pictures just for fun

Coil Springs and some tools

gaskets and lots of tools

Driver side

Driver side strut and brake

Stock Manifolds

K-Member (Should be fun putting this back in!)

Passenger side

stock H-pipe

Thanks to those of you that helped me out in my questions during the day! I will prolly have more tomorrow!

looks like your doing it the hard way. All i did to put mine on were raise the engine on either side and but some serious concentration in it. No taking off the wheels or anything else.

Are you sure those old manifolds are stock? Those look WAYYY much better than the stock 99-04 headers.

Well it yeah it looks easy as hell when you take the k-member out!... lol I installed mine with the k-member in and just lifting one side of the motor at a time... That was so annoying, I will never do it that way again.I couldnt torque half of them. I am putting a new clutch in my car in two weeks and I am deffinitly dropping my k-member to take my LT's in and out. Good work...

No I'm not sure they are stock. Infact they do say Ford Motorsports on them. Thats what was on there and its what I am getting rid of. I just got the car about a year ago and I know the owner before me did some stuff to it like the gears and borla stingers. I'll look into it...
