Header Install
yea just get some help from a buddy...you have to jack up the motor about 6 inches to get the headers on...the prochamber shouldnt be too bad, just dont break the bolts and it shouldnt take more than a day
prochamber=easy
lt's=time consuming pita!
its not hard, and reguardless of what people tell you you do not have to remove the k-member to do this. simply lift the engine a little. that combined with muscling the engine side to side a little will open up plenty of room unless you have giant *** hands. just be patient and dont forget your red rtv to prevent exhaust leaks. good luck.

i literally just finished a long tube gasket change today, took 3 days of sorta of solid work in my driveway...dropped the k-member, only way to do it properly. There is and awsome guide on this, i followed it and everything went very smooth-heres the link, look over it a few times and good luck!!

*****What 99 Gt said about jacking the motor up 6in...I would very highly not suggest this approach...the first time i did this header install this is how i did it and a month later it was leaking. It is impossible to torqe the bolts down properly and this method as far as im concerned is harder then dropping the k-member. Just jacking the motor up was terribly hard and time consuming. Not to rip on 99 gt, just from experience doing it both ways.
