Hi all
Does anyone have any tricks or pointers for installation of a rear header? Would it be easier to do it from under the car or undo the motor mount and pull the engine forward?
Thanks, Keith

I did mine from under the car. Once the old one and shield was out of the way it was fairly easy.

Re: rear header??
You will just need a flexible trans dipstick or a custom bent one. Thats the only problem i had

Re: rear header??
W-body dip stick should work perfect if you don't have one already... like a 2000 GTP or something.

Re: rear header??
Yep, I put the rear header in place from under the car, but I tightened everything from up top. I didn't seem to have any space issues that some have had, it was all pretty accessible. Then again I had to climb and hunch myself into the engine bay many 'o times, but I'm 6'2, 200lb.

Re: rear header??
I guess I'm lucky for being on the shorter side this time 
I started the install today. I dont wanna jinx myself but so far so good. The hardest part so far is the cross over. But I have the front manifold out and the ready to come out pending the getting the crossover out.
