Default BBK Long Tube Header install

I just recently bought a set of BBK Long Tuber Headers for my 2000 Mustang GT 4.6L. Im still waiting on the shipment to arrive but im just doing my research in the meantime because im going to do the install myself with a mechanic friend of mine. I've already seen a few sites with installation instructions but i just wanna ask if anyone who has dont it themselves before has any advice for me? Maybe some tips on certain things. I know its going to be a tough and long process but we're ready for it. I would appreciate it a lot if anyone can give me some pointers! Thanks a lot!

Get some Percy's header gaskets and Stage 8 locking header bolts. As far as headers, just put enough time aside, because it's a job that will definitely test you pateince.

give your self plenty of time to do it. make sure your not gonna need the car for a while take your time and don't let it frustrate you. a 4.6l is a total bitch compared to most cars.
