1. Soak your header bolts over night... and any other bolt you need to remove.
2. Stock up on beer and band-aids (Beer if you are of legal age)

Make sure you use good gaskets, re tighten everything after the heating-->cooling periods. Hope for no leaks, and if you dont say any bad words, then that will be a first in F-body header install history! lol

YES! If you get tired, just save it for tomorrow. Believe me, 6 hours under the car isn't going to be fun. You'll get angry, and when you do, take a breather. Do your plugs too if you can...O2s also.Originally posted by blackthunder50
