TTI guys

Have any of you "during a rebuild" just slowly lowered the motor between your TTI held in place on the fender wells rather then going from the bottom up? I can understand the directions of TTI if your just swapping out headers and yes...the bottom is the only way. I'm just not sure if I will be able to get enough front jack lift without using a lumber yard of wood :scratch:

Thanks

It can be done - least I've done it. - going slowly and having at least a second person to help with the movement of the headers as you lower the motor. Disconnect at collector flange, leave oil filter off and remove the bolt that holds the idler arm to the frame as the cross link tends to get in the way.
#7 loose pipe will need to be installed after the motor is in place.

As far as jack height - my jack stands are no more than 16" tall. One of the keys I have found with the installation from below is to be able to get the crosslink back from its normal location - visa disconnect the idler arm from the frame.
