Yeah, mine took probably around the 7 hour mark, but you have to take into consideration, running to the parts store for parts you forgot, fighting with getting things out, like the hump in the exhaust over the axle, and most of all the manifolds...I fought with getting my manifolds out for like 3 hours total.

well this guy said it was about 2 hours a day after work. so he had time to run to the store. lol.

ive always wondered why people take them out through the bottom. especially on the LT1. the manifold itself is on top of the plugs and even the heads, so just pull it out through the top.

is it the trianglular flange that gets in the way?

Yeah that's part of the problem.... passenger side plugs, and the coil packs too.

Out the bottom is much easier.

Yes. That flange make it impossible to get it pass the stearing assembly.

But get a load of this, talk about getting kicked when you're down. After getting the manifolds off Epic, the guy who's selling me the headers e-mails me saying hes broke them pulling them off his car so he's sending me my money back. *sighs* this hasn't been my week.

Ohh man grant that frickin blows.

damn Grant that sucks. not to kick you even more but theres a lesson, never start work when you dont have all the parts. i lucked out being able to get a ypipe from summit after my headers were done but i really shoulda waited. win some you lose some. good luck, everything will turn out well in teh end.
