Replacing headers..
Anyone have any experience with doing it "yourself"? Garage job or shop job?

we (myself and two friends that are mechanics) used a dealership lift and their tools and it still took 9 hours.... but it beat the hell outta spending several hundred for labor!

it can be done in the garage if you have a engine stand that will keep the engine held up once you remove the k-member, and also you will need probrably 2 jacks, and of course jack stands, impact wrench, if you lived near me i could probrably do it for ya.

I installed my longtubes and o/r x over a weekend at a buddy's garage. Put it up as high as you can on axle stands, drop the k and put them on. Took about 8-9 hours over a Saturday and Sunday afternoon but we bs'd and drank a few cold ones. Not extremely difficult but will try your patience. Much better than the $600 dollars I was quoted by a local speedshop.
