Header help..?

I've recently had a new motor installed in my 1990 RS Camaro, bt the long tube headers I have on this new motor right now, run right into the 7qt oil pan that's on the motor... I've bought sum new hooker headers competition headers 2460 3HKR(shorty's) that I'm gonna install myself..all I have to wrk with though is a couple of car ramps, a 2ton floor jack and of course my ratchet tools.. Is that enough to replace the long tube headers with the new hooker shorty's.. bc im doing it in my driveway? If so...could sumone give me play-by-play instructions, bc I'm totally a newby at this. Thanks n advance!

Re: Header help..?

You have enough to get the headers on. Just make sure you have the Y pipe there also to tie it all together.

Re: Header help..?

yes minimal tools are required, my headers designed for my car didnt connect to my factory y pipe, so i created my own, third gens are tricky when getting headers as i learned, not any sbc header is gonna work being that the frame rails run pretty tight to the engine
