Hooker headers with Milodon 8ct pan
Maybe you tried this and maybe it's no help but, I run a milodon 8 quart pan on my 340 and getting the motor and headers in are always a battle. I wire the driver side up out of the way in the motor compartment then lowering the motor in with the car nice and high on stands . I drop the passenger side header in unattached along with the motor fighting it all the way definitely a two-person job. Very frustrating when you have a freshly painted engine compartment. Mine are jegs headers.
