Default Tubular K/Long tubes

Just wondering for anyone that has a tubular k and long tubes, Does the k member make it alot easier to install the headers. If so, do you still have to lift the engine to get them in or not. If im gonna do long tubes i may as well do this at the same time to make it easier if i have to take them back off.Thanks for any help.

Yes it is very easy. When I pulled my engine I was able to remove the LTs in 30 min.

No I defiantly recommend a tubular K-member to anyone who is trying to do long tube headers. I makes a world of difference.
