is anyone aware of any tricks to wrestle an IE long tube header in to the car ? engine is installed.
so far i've managed to determine the front bank will clear the ac lines and compressor, the oil cooler lines, and the oil filter and housing, but the oil filter looks pretty trapped. the rear bank will clear the frame rail. they look to locate correct under the car as well.
issue is i can't seem to get both banks in. once one bank is in the bay, there's not enough space to squeeze the other in. i've removed the oil cooler and filter housing for extra room, and i can drop the ac compressor, but i'm not sure it'll gain me anything.
i'm praying i don't have to pull the engine out of the car to hang them. wondering if i have to pull an engine mount or something.
lmk if you have any ideas, i have to get an exhaust on this thing soon to try a start up.
