Steve, do I need to do that if I lay the headers in place and drop the engine in? I can pop them apart if need be but I thought laying them in place and dropping in they wouldn't need to be removed?
Bill, If Steve can't get back to ya..As I remember "yes" you will need that "extra" room for header/engine movement even if you are dropping the motor between them...You'll be suprized just how tight things are! Besides, it's better then banging or getting fustrated having to pull everything back out just to remove them.
PS It "also" makes getting your starter in alot EZer. (any room is a bonus...you'll see)
