Wish i could come down and take some notes. I am wrenching this week also but not near as much as you.

Icefreezen · 05-09-2006, 06:02 PM

Just one support? Bolt or weld in?

HUH? The support just sits between the fenders and supports the motor while I drop the K member. Here is a better pic:

Cool idea! Looks so simple it as to work. Good luck with the install.

mcmmotorsports · 05-09-2006, 06:15 PM

The bracket that bolts to the block is sold through Ford for $33. I will make my own for nuttin. :clap:

My bad I thought that was going inder the chasis for some reason..lol

I thought you had to jack the motor up a few inches to install. Will that allow you to do that? Damn engine bay is soo tight.

There are two ways to install headers. #1 is by taking the bolt off of one motor mount at a time and jack the motor up 3-4 inches. It is very cramped, but does not require you to remove the K member. Way #2 is removing the K member. This allows simple access to ALL of the header bolts and is the preferred way to install headers.

Good luck with the install, it me and a friend about 7hrs or so....Results are awesome!!

dfroster · 05-09-2006, 06:30 PM

understand. I just hate to think of that install from the ground, ie:no lift. I have a set of SLP that came with my kit but have yet to tackle. The guy who is going to do my gear, rear, axle install said he'd do it all in the same day. I'd like to save the $ and do that part myself. I have not talked to anyone who has really done it, just what i've read and have seen under my own car.

mcmmotorsports · 05-09-2006, 06:35 PM

Funny thing is I have a friend with a lift and he told me I could use it for however long I need it. I opted to install them in my own garage. No time limit and I can work on it when I want to.

*madmatt* · 05-09-2006, 06:45 PM

WOO HOO Lts for Mike. My good man, where on earth did you get such a fine set of headers...
