Hell, I thought you'd be done by now! I may try over my next off cycle from work to do mine, I'll have four days. You've inspired me! I just spent a few minutes looking at my car. I swear I can get the driver's side manifold off by just removing the steering shaft. I can see the entire manifold and all the bolts. With the shaft gone I don't see why it can't be removed and headers installed. The passager side is another story, but if I can just jack the motor up on that side it will be alot faster than dropping the K-member. What do you think? I'm going to try it, if it is a no-go then I do it the long way.

Looks good man. In the first picture it looks like the hook is hooked up to the belt.

It is an optical delusion.

Actually, this job is soo much more enjoyable since I am going slow with it.
I really wanted to try and do the install without removing the K Member, but after pulling it down, I would not do it any other way. K Member is down, manifolds are off and I am done for the night. I am probably going to buy replacement gaskets since I am in there even though EVERYONE so far has said to reuse them.

Here are some more BEAUTIFUL PICS.
BTW, last pic are some plugs I picked up at the salvage yard today to make my o2 extensions.:clap:

Man that's great, your almost there. Now just the re-install. I agree with the gaskets, if you have to go back due to a leak you'd shoot yourself for not replacing when you could.:wallbash: I also see the mount from the driver's side that comes off with the K-member, this is the only thing I see giving me trouble. I guess it's the LONG way...Oh well I'll have the time. Time to make a engine support...mind if I borrow your design?

No, I am making new o2 extensions for the L/T's.
#1: The ones that came with the headers had insulation squashed near the sensors.
#2: I like the idea of plug in extensions, not extended wires.

Oh yeah, I have been driving my truck the past two days since it has A/C and the company car don't.:censored:
