If you are using unequal length shorties, they can be on. I don't know about equal length shorties. 4 into 4's ahh, that's a no.

I used Mac shorties and had them on the engine before it went in-no problems.

headers are BBK unequal length

 

[jvoight]

been there done that, it will fit no problem....

I put my motor in sans headers. Mac unequal shorties. Having no headers allowed me to use the factory lifting brackets. Slipped the headers right in with the motor in place.

My new, ceramic coated, FMS shorty headers required a little ball peen hammer work on a couple tubes to make the Stage 8 fasteners fit. I needed to be on a stool sitting by engine to do this. You lose that ability with engine in car. I understand that headers are notorious for having the bolts loosen. That drove me to Stage 8's and thus putting them on before installing engine.

If you are running any type of shorty put them on before the install with some Stage 8 bolts.I did'nt even take the headers off when I have had pull the heads

Same deal with Flowtech 1-5/8 unequals. I used the stage 8's and did them while the motor was on the floor. I've got FMS shorties and Stage 8 bolts to do on my '88 LX Mustang, and I am sure there will be more than a few swears since the motor is still in the car.

headers + Stage 8's + in car = beers and Bandaids,Good luck.

Just watch the steering shaft cover! The headers caught mine and scratched it good.!

 

[KevinK]

Flowtech unequal shorties installed prior to dropping in the motor. No problems. Good luck!

Installed my Ford ceramic coated unequal length headers after the engine was installed. Drilled and safety wired the header bolts.

Dropped mine in Tues night with the unequal length MAC shorties on. I modified the crap out of the factory lifting brackets so I could use them with the shorty headers.

I LOVE my high speed grinder.
