Andy, The headers come close to the frame on the Passenger side ( about 1 inch) They tuck up under the top lip of the frame. So, I'm not to sure you can fit them in when installed. They aren't that difficult to install with the engine in the car. I happen to have my set off the car at moment, I have them out for jet-hot service, My set was one of the early ones that did not get that treatment. And it wasn't very long before the Rust started to show. Also FYI if for some reason you ever have to remove the starter. You will have to at least loosen the header to swing it out of the way and remove the oil filter. Btw: What did you do the head to fix the exhaust stud? Weld and remachine.
