Head swap while in car?

[petethekiller]

Hey guys, can anyone verify there is enough room to work around the TTI headers for a head swap without pulling your RB block? Is it feasable to swap out my 906 heads for my aluminum heads with the motor in the car? It looks tight so if you pulled it off, literally.... let me know.

Thx

I've only done it with manifolds and the manifolds had to come out first. Biggest problem with leaving the headers in place will be getting to the outer head bolts.

I would think one might handle it like a header install only add the heads R&R.
How does TTI do 'em in the car?

I did a swap with Schumachers in the car. No issues.

TTI says pull the torsion bars and go up from the bottom. I pulled a B block with TTIs by just unbolting and having helpers hold them away from the heads, so he should be able to get the heads off with the headers still in the bay… but I see it’s a RB, so passenger side might be tricky, especially if the headers are on studs.
