RE: installing mac headers
You should be able to fit it inthere without lifting the engine. did you remove all the smog stuff, & spark plugs. If not try that. instead of lifting the engine maybe remove the starter first for a little more room, if you are going to bring it in from the bottom. You might even have to take off your crossover pipe, if you havent already done so.
