Install engine with headers attatched??

I know you can do it with shorties or stock manifolds, but can you drop in an engine with a set of Longtubes allready attatched?? Or would that make for more trouble?

I guess it could be done but as easy as header are to put on, I wouldn't chance it.

Maybe drop the engine in almost all the way, then stick the headers in and button them up. Slip the engine down it's last inch or two after installing the headers. Depending on your clearance it might work.
