Anyone have header installation on a 1997 Gt auto experience? More helpful hands is needed to more heads the better.. So far its just 4.6power and possibly Tony anyone else? Start late around 4:00pm on Friday and Im gonna work on it till the fugger is done . Which would probably take the whole Saturday and possibly Sunday morning.

Its possible I believe I dont have 300 to 500 bucks to drop on something that anyone could do just need time. All the bolts can be reached with extensions and a swivel but some need a wrench only problem is the o2 sensor wires need to be entended. I would buy a harness extender but I cant fuggin find one.

This is not a flame but you need to realize that its not that hard. Myself and Dave(tampa99gt) did my longtubes on my 4v in the course of 2 days. This was with us going into this blind. no info what so ever and in my garage. It wouldnt have taken us that long if it werent for little snags along the way. After looking at Daves 2v when we put his motor in his headers are gonna be a piece of cake compared to mine. Although this is a 5 speed car and not an auto I dont see there being too much issue with the install. I believe you can get O2 extenders at any Ford dealer if not cut them and solder them to make them longer. The bolts on the 2vs are very easy to reach. Since my header install Ive pulled my longtubes 2x since then for maintenance(pulled the tranny twice passenger side has to come out and replaced drivers side header gasket). I can now do headers on a 4.6 in my sleep. If Im up to it I may come and help. It depends how I feel after work.

Yup jack it up and try to jack the motor up if that doesnt work I guess its the K member off but I wanna advoid that option. It might come down to the removal of the K member but I read tech articles that it was done both ways just some areas u need to use a wrench and not a socket..
