Installing Speed Daddy's with motor out - will the huge rear header clear?



Doubt it.

Just have the rear header laying in the rear of the engine bay tunnel and drop the motor in, then just grab it and install the bolts.

Front maniold should be okay, but you dont want them all the way tighten because you may have to still wiggle them around to line things up.
 
Yes you can. I did mine with the hood off, and the rear header installed. This was with an el-cheapo cherry picker, no leveler. Just takes a bit of fanagling.

Exactly the answer i wanted to hear. I popped my hood right off. No leveller either. Camera ready!
 
Do it! I ended up having to remove the battery tray in order to get just enough clearance for the crank pulley. If it looks like the engine is going in at too much of an angle (either up/down, or sideways) it probably hasn't gone far enough. The front header wasn't on the engine either. Also, all done with just me, no one to help. Good luck.
 


I did it with the front installed, but not the rear, wasnt gonna take off my hood, I just had the struts taken off. I had to take the front off anyway to get the dam crossover on the front.
