To make installing headers fun.

But what is fun is making my wife start the car with no exhaust!

A 3rd Gen with a LS1, you lay the headers in the engine bay, then drop the engine in place and bolt them up.

With a 2nd Gen 71 T/A 455HO, the headers go on AS the engine is being lowered into the engine bay. Start a bolt, drop the engine 1/4", or so, start another bolt. Wash, rinse, repeat until all 8 bolts are tight, and the engine is bolted onto the mounts. Oh, and don't forget about the three wrenches you cut up and ground the edges on so they'd work.

Removal is exactly the opposite of the install. With no front sheetmetal on the car, it's about an 4 hour job. I had to do it twice. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
