YEPPPPPPPP!!! lol, been there done that...Get a buddy or two and it is no problem to do.

superman5.0 · June 28th, 2007, 10:54 PM

but i dont have an engine lift? how else could you do it?

Tony_90fox · June 28th, 2007, 11:10 PM

put a jack under it, unbolt or loosen the motor from the mounts and jack it up...You also probably have the headers with the steering shaft goes through the middle, have fun if you have any rust there!

We had to push and pull on the motor to get them in too.

wow this should be a fun project

Tony_90fox · June 28th, 2007, 11:35 PM

What brand headers did you get?

superman5.0 · June 28th, 2007, 11:48 PM

i havent gotten any of them yet but isnt mac the only ones that make them that will fit an auto?

dapack69 · June 29th, 2007, 12:12 AM

BBK's will clear an auto as well and are better quality.

You got BBK's on an automatic?? BBK claims you can get them on with a little extra effort and some slight modification. Thats why they advertise them as not fitting automatics because they don't consider them direct bolt ons. Not that they can't be made to fit.

It tool a little massaging to make them work, but yes.

Tony_90fox · June 29th, 2007, 06:17 PM

I got the Mac's. There are higher dollar ones that will fit with the aod but just stick with the Mac's...they will be all you will need.

sivart · June 30th, 2007, 07:35 AM

Tony_90fox · June 30th, 2007, 12:20 PM

It's really not that difficult.

sivart · June 30th, 2007, 12:59 PM

i know, i have lt's on mine......i was just saying shorts would be easier.....

sloppyjosey · June 30th, 2007, 03:17 PM
