Default Longtube Headers

Hey. I am new to this forum and I have a 97 cobra. My husband is a car man but we can't seem to figure out how to install the longtube header on the driver side. Any suggestions???

Welcome to the forum. I'm not familiar with the newer Stang's, but have you tried pulling the motor mount and jacking the drivers side up to get them in. Then lower the motor and then bolt them up. You may have to remove the steering shaft also. I'm just guessing here as I remember reading what people have done before. Good luck
