Can long tube headers be installed with the engine in the car ?

I was able to install my Dynomax 1-5/8" LT's with the motor in the car. It wasnt too bad.

I installed my stepped 1 7/8 1 3/4 schoenfelds with the motor in, But i have a ac delete plate, bucked the ears off the transmission and had to remove the starter no big deal though never had to jack the motor though

I put patriot's on mine they went in with the motor in but I had to notch the driver motor mount and the lower a arm brackets on the fram on both sides. ](*,) and remove the starter.

I have Hooker SC in my 80 BU. Went in with no issues. You have to install from the bottom and remove the plugs...

Depending on motor mount position you may have to trim the ear on the driver side lower control arm mounts to clear one of the tubes. I used a sawzall. Maybe about 1/4 inch or so. All in all not a bad install.
