Header Install Process?

jwelch68Member

Good Afternoon,

I have two full days into installing my original headers on the new 351C engine. The heads are 3V Speedmaster which are supposed to be a compromise between the 2V and 4V OE heads. Short story is my 4V were junk.

Anyway, I test fit the headers to the heads before installing into the car and they fit with no issues using FelPro 1416 gaskets.

I finally got the passenger side installed but had to pry each exhaust flange into place while stabbing the bolts. I had to work each individual exhaust/flange this way. However there is much less room to work on the driver's side.

I do have the rear tires off and on a quick jack lift, so no issue accessing the area.

Any thoughts on the best procedure?

Thanks,

John
