  • Can you put the engine in with headers on?

    My headers wont be going on until my motor gets done this month, just wanting to know if you can fit the motor in with the headers attacted? Or should i wait and get them on when the motor is in the car?

    i think you can do it if you are installing engine from underneath. if you are going in through the top, no way in hell

        Is that from the top or the bottom?

              Actually, you can. Check Magnus's web site for pics of his LS1 swap. ;)
