  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    And you'll probably have to take the starter off to get the header in...

    For the first time in at least 30 YEARS, she has a HEART!!!!! Of course, as soon as I lined up the motor mount bolts, I realized I forgot the lay the headers in there before dropping the engine… lol.
    Yup, dipsh*t move…..

    Laying the headers in doesn't work for me. They always get hung up on the bosses on the block. Do what I said. Take one motor mount bolt out and tilt the engine with the hoist. Then put the header in from underneath

    When i pull my trans I bungee my shifter handle up and leave the handle/shifter/rods dangling. Way easier than messing with the boot and carpet...
