It will go in just fine from the top. But if you have the ability to put it in from the bottom I would do it that way.

it will not go in just fine from the top with the lt headers installed if you have the stock k-member. i tried fron the top and you will either be hitting on the k-member or on the firewall. what i did is took out all but one bolt for the headers so that i could wiggle them around as i lowered the engine into place and once i got them under the firewall i installed the rest of the bolts. it wasnt too bad that way but if you have the equipment to go from the bottom that would be the easiest.
