Pulling 350 with headers

Anyone tried to pull a 350 engine with short headers attached? Car is a 1992 if that matters. Thanks

Won't happen... they'll hit the evaporator.

Less work to do what looks like more work up front and just take em loose from the heads, than to try to get out of doing that trivial bit of work and end up doing even more work instead.

Mods, please don't ban me for using that foul 4-letter word so many times in one post.

Re: Pulling 350 with headers

Sorry sofa, normally I'd never disagree with you but I pulled and reinstalled my 350 with edelbrock TES shorties on it earlier this year. Its a 92 also with AC still attached. A minor twist of the motor as it moved in and out was all I needed. It is close though. The headers were the only thing still on the engine other than valve covers and oil pan if that matters. I did it that way 6 years ago too so I know its repeatable. Maybe Edelbrocks will clear and others won't???

Don't know about removal but installing my 350 w/Dyno Dons practically fell into place.
