I got my shorties in, just barely though, with the engine in there. But I'd put them in before just to be safe.

If they're long tubes then yeah, take JesasaurusRex's advise.

if you have a kickout oil pan, lay them in before hand.. if not, you can get them in there after the motor is in.. kickout pans are a BITCH!! but good for the motor
