Default Installing headers

How hard would it be to install shorty headers? Would I need to put the car on a lift in order to do it? I only have jackstands so I wanted to know if it was possible to do it in my driveway.

Thanks
Jmac

i just installed them last week. Let me tell you its a bitch. You need to put your car on ramps at leats in the front. You need to lift the motor to get to some studs. It took me a couple of days to do it but if i did it again i could do it in hours. Make shure you have every tool they make because you will need it.
