Whos installed shorties?

[97RedGT]

I know its lt's or don't, but i already got em they were cheap, and i know people will still bash. Anyway whos installed shorties and how did you go about doing it. I've been told 2 ways, jacking the motor up 2inch, or dropping k member. I'd rather not drop the k member so has anyone here done it with just jacking the motor up? They are bbk's btw. Has anyone ever heard that the bbk shorty headers are poor quality?

I would bolt them to PI heads, then remove your heads and manifolds, then replace them with the PI head's/cams/intake.

It seriously not worth the effort otherwise.

I have bbk shorties but I put them on my motor while it was out of the car. After dropping the motor in and looking at everything I would probably never do it any other way

no, he's saying it because it's a total PITA to pull manifolds off with the engine in the car, with the head's on, it's even more difficult to get past the stock K to tighten the manifold bolt's up when you are done.

gotcha

Dropp the motor out of the bottom if you are using a Stock K member and doing long tubes. Then tighten all of it whit the motor out of the car. And then just slide the motor back in.

or better yet, sell me your shorties and don't worry about it and put the money toward the long tubes by the way they are the equal length ones right?
