definitely wont be able to install the studs first and put the headers on them. if nothing else youll have little to no room at the last stud by the firewall, and on the passenger side youll hit the frame before u can bring it out enough to get it on the studs. in place is gonna be pretty much the only option. and if they are 1-7/8 headers you have to take the steering shaft loose and change the bolt anyway or itll tear up the #3 cylinder primary
thanks,

I'm sure you could fit them around, depends on how long the studs are and how much clearnace you have. Some stock engine mounts sag a little with age so it could be tight or you could be just fine. Problem isn't up by the head, its the rest of the header that snakes up through the trans tunnel on the passenger side. To me thats where the challenging part was, but I have 1 7/8" and 4L80E and I had to cut the Ear off the transmission to get mine to fit.

I guess I got lucky. I installed all studs, backed the steering shaft bolt out about 10 turns, slid the headers on the studs with the gaskets already on the studs and put the nuts on.
