hey dude you're pretty close to me. i'm in orlando. and i got the same headers as you. only thing that was a pain in the *** was the driver's side. i had to disconnect the motor mount and raise the engine a bit so the header would clear the steering linkage. other than that it went pretty smooth, just a lot of **** to remove and install back.

you may want to try putting them in from the bottum 1st before you go pulling the motor mount but alot of people on here had to do that to get the drivers side in. headers are a pain but they are worth it adn its not too bad if you just have some patience and try all the ways you can to get them in the easiest. different ways work for different people. my flowtechs just dropped right in, about an hour job removing and installed all the stuff. good luck

if they are shorties then you shouldnt have to lift the engine. you should be able to fit them in from either the top or the bottum. i dont dought it takes that long if they dont just slide in from the top. its a pretty long process but you just have to be patient.

slip em in from the top. I would say it probobly takes longer to get the old exuast outa there than it does to put the new in. Driver side you dont have to remvoe anything but hoses, pass side you need to remvoe air diverter box and probably all your air conditioning stuff.

Both sides go in from the top. Drivers side you need to disconnect the steering shaft first. Its easier to do if you remove everything from the valve covers up.
