Well i decided to bag the manifolds for many reasons. Over the past year i set up a "kooks header fund" and saved up enough for them. I hope I didn’t get myself into trouble with this dropping the k member/engine stuff. Is there any complete write ups out there of a install?
Dropping the k-member is actually easier than it sounds.
8 bolts (or 16?) and it's apart. Just need to make sure the rest of the car is on jack stands and use your jack to lower and raise the k-member/engine. I don't know how much you can move it before other stuff gets damaged, but I moved mine about an inch with no problems.
