Default LT installation

Ok, so i wanna get some info about LTs before i think about buying em. 1st, where can i get them for a reasonable price? and 2nd, do they come with installation guides or is it pretty obvious what your supposed to do, kuz from my stand point you have to take stuff off to get them out.

its a pain to install, if you really know what your doing its easiest to pull the engine out then put it back in with headers installed.

oh,.. i dont think ill be pulling the engine. Any way to work around it, ive got a buddy who has one of those car lifts in his garage so getting under it shouldnt be a problem, could i do it that way? unbolt it and then take them out and replace them from below?

WHOA WHOA WHOA, you don't have to pull t.he engine on a 6 did mine in under 3 hours, all you have to do is the car about a foot off the ground, so you can slide them in from underneath. On moddedmustangs.com there is a good tutorial that I followed. It was pretty easy, alot easier than I expected.
