Long tube nightmare

[D3VST8R96GT]

Pi Motor swapping a friends '98. The BBK long tubes he got have been nothing but a nightmare to install. Also I wasn't there to guide him through some important steps.... now I have r134 all over my garage Lmao. Needless to say its been a long weekend and I barely had any wrench time.

Been there, done that my man. Passenger side wasn't so bad...Driver's side, different story. Good luck!

Yeah my first hint was I had to modify the bolts just to get them on the header.......

i install mine on the floor before dropping the car on the motor and it was a pain with the motor out. Now the fun part will be when you go the drop the trans for any reason, i battled for hours trying to get the trans out with out unbolting the headers.

Well its being aborted due to needing the car back on the road.

Sorry to hear

Would it just easier to pull the k-member then install instead of pulling the engine and putting it back in.

For us we had the motor out and were swapping a pi motor in
