Using a proven wheeling truck with another driving truck, plus more parts.
I was excited to open the box which contained the smallest and most expensive headers that I have ever purchased!
Obviously I have always watched the bottom line more. I hope that these will make it a little easier to cross the exhaust over, and possibly help not build understood heat as bad.
Unfortunately, I have to admit that @Bent77 has a longer set than I do....
And this is for the comments that I know will, or would have happened regardless of what I post...
And I got away with having headers in the living room !!!!!!!!

And here is a different pic of the shameful deed.....
At least it has been parked inside ever since returning from BB17....
The most ever that I know of!

First time laying short pipe on the rug?I was excited to open the box which contained the smallest and most expensive headers that I have ever purchased!

First time the wife was clothed, and not directly involved.
And the pipe was coated beforehand ..
Yours were bare....
You posted pics.
MADE SOME PROGRESS!!
I had a rear shackle get bent while trying to press the old bushing out. I had already placed another order from ORD which was shipped, had already spent money on headers, so I decided to see if I could build some. @azblazer had given me a pile of parts over the years , ( Thanks DW)
which included a bushing kit for the rear from Energy Suspension, and he gave me some 1/4" strap, 4"wide.
So I don't have grand skills, but I am pleased with the end result. And I built something for this myself!
Cleaned up the rear springs and pressed out the old bushings, got them hanging from the frame!
I ran into the same problem with the new headers as the old rams horn style manifolds. Apparently the Edelbrock heads have the exhaust port tucked in slightly as @Bent77 had suggested weeks ago. One of the head bolts hit the right collector. After playing 'phone-a-friend' with 2 buddies, I felt less crazy putting a dimple in a brand new coated header. It now clears the bolt! I am excited to have lots of room to work because of the exit location. I feel confident that I wouldn't be able to use these without the ORD engine mounts.

Here is where I had interference.
And after some playtime with the press.

Thanks!!
And yes, bumping the switch was combined with holding my breath a little.
@Bent77 told me that I was loco, and hard headed..
But I did try his technique first!
Yeah you probably hit it like a Sally
Funny thing being I didn’t get jet hot in case they didn’t fit, and I think I’m gonna be good. You did get the jet hot and had to smack it like a red headed stepchild
After watching the engine masters eppisode on YouTube I should have bashed my header rather then my firewall lip... But that will change when I flip them over for a hair dryer....
Nah, I used a 4 lb sledge and a punch, and the press wasn't like beating the crap out of it!!
Smooth operator!!!!
No, too much chance for corn to cause a stutter .....
No, stutter, like a machine gun.....
Some pre-emptive smack down

Some previous owner thought that he needed to make multiple laps welding little spring pads on.....
