I am pulling my 402 w/Hookers and was wondering if I needed to unbolt the headers first or will there be room with them attached. I am also leaving my bellhousing on.
Thanks for your help and Happy New Year :D :D

I would unbolt the bellhousing too.

It would be a challenge to take out the engine with them on.

Will do....:thumbsup:

Thanks Team....Happy New Year :beers:

Unbolt them

off with them :)

unbolt them (from pipes too) but leave them where they lay, thats also the best way ive found to install headers or header/engine combo, lay the headers in there (maybe some wire to hold them in place if needed) and drop the engine in....why unbolt the bell housing?, even with auto trans i leave it on the motor, why lay under the car and fight with it if you can work on it on the floor? with a gm auto it seems to hang itself pretty well to remove them both and a 4-speed is even easier...imnsho

btw, i saw harbor frieght has a pretty beefy looking engine hoist balancer for the same 20 bucks or so i paid for a piece of crap i had to rebuild with a set of thrust washers, gussets and a better crank (which did the trick and was much better than paying the 70 to 100 bucks or whatever some places want for them)
