Your car is going to be completely different with the gears. I just installed my 4.30s last weekend, but me and my friend did it ourselves. And long tubes are not that hard to install, more of a pain because you have to take a lot of stuff off the car. To install his, we took the whole front suspension off, steering rack off, dropped the k-member, installed headers and put everything back together.

I didnt even drop the k member and it wasnt that horrible. I think it was worth it. You just need the right tools. i used a couple of weird setups to reach some of the bolts. And as for the gears your gonna have a lot of fun.

Sockets, both big and small. I forget the exact sizes. Air tools if you have them will make life much easier, wrenches (big adjustable for the EGR), extensions and swivels. These are the tools we used, but we dropped the k member, which made it very easy to access the nuts and studs for the manifolds. dont forget a jack to hold the engine up too if you plan on doing it this way.
