Default BBK Long Tubes (4.6)

Need advice for installation. Instructions state: lift motor 3-4 inches to install. Is there a way to install w/o lifting motor. I know it's tight, but there has got to be a way. If there are any links out there to your personal experiences installing these, please send me the link. Thanks

I think the only other way is to drop the K member. Raising the motor isnt that bad, prolly be a lot easier.

You will need to lift the motor, it's no big deal just put a jack under the oil pan(with a peice of wood to help ditribute the weight)unbolt the engine mounts and lift the motor. It will save you time and a ton of frustration to jus tdo it the right way.
