I've got hedmans as well. They should be just as wide as MACs. You should not have a problem getting the tranny out except getting to the starter bolts.

Am I the only person who couldn't get my transmission out with my MAC long tubes still in? Man I must be tarded or something.

When doing LTs, it is SO MUCH easier to just drop the K member. Makes so easy and quick.

I agree. I have tried it by raising the engine and by dropping the k member. Dropping the k member is a must for easier access, saving your precious knuckles, and keeping your blood pressure down.
