Any Tips for Installing a Trans?

Dale,

I think Fords are like Pontiacs when it comes to installing headers .. When I do them in my firebird , I lay them on the enter fenderwell panels.. Hold them in place with bungee cords, then I drop the motor in between the headers ... Attach the motor mount bolts, then lift the headers in-place & bolt them up to the heads ... That seems to work the best & that's another reason to not try & do everything at once ...
* Bill , is right about not having enough room/ground clearance also...
Take it easy and keep us informed ? Do it right the first time, so you don't have to do it AGAIN !!!! Hope this helps ?
