installing headers....
Theres only three bolts on the starter. The top bolt is a pain to get, but its not too bad. Theres only one way it can go in so there is no worry in installing it wrong when you put it back it. Also it may sound like a huge undertaking. but there is only one bolt holding each motor mount down. just unbolt one at a time, which side depends on which header your putting in. I unbolted both at the same time and lifted it up and that didnt give me as much clearance as unbolting only one which causes it to rock to one side. Then I took a hydraulic jack and a peice of 2x4 about 8" long and stuck it upright on the base on the jack. Then I put the other end of the 2x4 on the front of the engine block restign on the lip of the oil pan. right between the harmonic balancer (the crank pully) and the oil pan. Its bassicly resting on the oil pan lip in front. Dont fit your motor up on the oil pan itself, you may dent it in if you do that. Also make sure you have a 1/2" torque wrench that can handle I think its about 120ft.lbs. for the motor mount bolts.
