Jeff,
Yeah, it's
looking that way for me too. BTW, what displacement are you running with those
Supercomps? A couple of buddies of mine are telling me that 2" headers are way
too big - should be 1 and 3/4. Since I have a set of each, I'm really wondering
which one's to go with.

I installed a set of Hooker Header
Supercomp headers, and the only way to get them in on the drivers side was to
loosen motor mounts and lift the motor up about 2 inches and slide them from
the bottom up into the engine compartment.

Yeah, I
got the pass side in no problem. The driver side is proving to be a
headache. I'm wondering if it makes sense to remove the steering colume
and see if I can feed them in from the top.

Well, I can't be entirely sure about
a big block, but on my small block, I have to jack up the car, and lift
the motor off the mounts for the drivers side. I lift the car for
the proper angle, and lift the motor off the mounts for just enough
clearance. It's a pain, but it will fit. As far as the
passenger side, nothing is required. The starter can still be
attached. Good luck, I guarantee that you will bust a few knuckles
getting it in there.

[Chevelle-List] Header installation
Well, since I got so much
help on the valve covers, I'll try a harder problem. Does anyone know
which parts have to be removed to get a set of Hooker headers onto my big
block 70 Chevelle? So far, it looks like the starter and the steering
column have to move. I'd HATE to have to remove the heads to get them
on.
I
need help on this one - anybody know how it's
done???
