I am guessing an advantage of doing heads and exhaust at the same time is removing the heads from the top with the stock manifolds attached, putting the BBK shorties on the new heads, then wiggling the combo in.  That, or installing the BBKs loosely on the H pipe then dropping the heads on.  Kinda wish I had a 5.0 sometimes!</blockquote>
