how to install headers?

All, good information here - I am in the process of installing TTI headers on my small block 69 notchback with power steering. I "THINK" we might have successfully completed the job. Here is what we have done.....BTW, this required me and my son and lots of patience.....thanks to this forum we had some reference points....

1) New motor, not dressed out, no fluids (good tip on water jackets on manifold studs that we removed - also, agree it is easier to hang the header on loose manifold studs to line up the gasket and header with the block).
2) Installed passenger side by lifting motor and sliding upward from underneath (car is hanging on jack stands about 24 inches off floor)
3) Driver side a bit more complicated......again, lift motor slide upward. TTI has the slip tube on the last pipe to go around the torsion bar....no torsion removal needed with this setup - Also, did not need to remove the steering/center link.......does not appear to go through these headers......
4) keep in mind motor position is key......once the header is bolted on and the mount slips back into its home the job is done...


This was painful for me as I have never installed headers.....and that the car was purchased in pieces and boxes so my motor mount configuration was off moving the motor forward and causing a collision with the steering box on the driver side.

Tip I read from another thread. Slide the ceramic coated headers in place while in the factory plastic bag This reduces damage to your coating. Mine are pretty beaten up from shifting the motor, banging from side to side, etc etc
