Installing Engine with Headers Attached

67 F-100, 390, Hooker Headers

I've always attached the headers after bolting down the engine. Anyone ever try installing the engine with the headers already attached. They are such a royal pain to bolt down, I'd like to avoid it if possible. Also, other than the 1/4" drive, offset wrenches and so on, anybody have any tips for getting at the damn header bolts? Thanks.

I bought a low-profile ratcheting combination wrench from Sears, and I keep it in the glove box.

I don't know if there is enough clearance but what about a ratchet wrench? Might work to get to the bolts.

Oj ust removing the front clip? If your good with aligning things you could get it back on without too much trouble.
