Trial fitting the headers on the Passenger size and ran into a tube that hits the starter (Known issue). So moved to the 'Easy' driver side. Didn't know how these were to be installed, lift motor, top or bottom install etc. So set out to sort that out and make notes so I can do it again, yes very likely.
These headers are all individual tubes so should be easier
I used some studs to help position the header tubes with the idea that once aligned, I can put the final bolts in. Well that worked out well on a couple of tubes but not on the other half. They helped on some but others they were too difficult to remove without a lot of work, so I noted that and moved on.
Had to loosen one of the motor mount though the chassis bolts as well as move around the main motor mount bolt. I made these mounts to help with the tight space for heads and they helped a lot as the tubes are 1 7/8" so a bit larger.
No blood or bashed fingers oddly, but plenty more to go, and for sure these need to come off as I need to add a gasket still, likely cut into individual cylinders...
