I DO need to unbolt the motor mounts right?

Youwill need to takeoff your air intake, mass air meter,smog plumbing to get at the pasenger side. Undo your motor mounts and lift your engine an inch or so and you can use apry barunder your motor mounts to hold the engine away from the side you are working on to get enough room to put the header in place. An extra set of hands helps!Youmay need to figure out a way to make your dipstick work. You shouldn't have to undo the steering shaft like the directions might say orInever had to with my BBK's.

I already have the passenger side in, i just need to get smaller header bolts, the original bolts rub the tubing. I already have a dent in the the drive side header to clear the steering equipment.
