Looks awesome man. It appears you pulled your motor with the exh manifolds still in place, when I pulled my motor there was this metal tab from the factory that was bent over the bolts on the exh manifold. All I did was just use a flathead screwdriver and bend them back but there was absolutely no room to bend it back to get a socket on the last bolt toward the firewall on the driver side. So I guess Im asking was this the reason you didnt take your exh manifolds off before you pulled the motor ??

No, what I mean is there was no room for me to get a screwdriver back there to bend that tab back on the bolt to get the exh manifold off. Well I guess Im going to just pull the motor with the manifolds on.
