Default BBK LT header install

so this is what i had to do to my headers that i had on there to get them off, without removing anything other than the sparkplugs and starter. Didnt have to lift the engine and since well there some cheepos anyways and not even worth my time selling i just used a sawsall.

still took me about 2 hours but that was trying to figure out if i could get the starter out without cutting things or pulling engine up. so then i just decided to start cutting. will show more pics after i get the install done. along with what i had to do to get the new ones in.

You only need to lift the engine about 2" to get the header in the passenger side.....

I don't think I had to lift my engine when I put in. Pretty sure I just raised up my car and went in from the bottom. It's been about 4 years so I can't remember for sure though.
