Was wondering if i will have to remove my BBK LongTube Headers to remove my transmission, or if I can still slide it out with them in place? I havent had the time to really get into the project but need to really soon and just need to know how much of a pain I am getting myself into really. Any quick responses would be extremely helpful...Thanks Guys

bummer, hey keep me posted on how this goes, take pics if you can too, i have to do this when i get back from school over christmas break, i have L/Ts on the car and i have to pull the tranny to do a new input shaft....so this is bad news....let me know hw you tackle this one! thanks
Just the passenger side. Have fun getting it back on! It was a huge PITA to get the header back on when I did my trans swap. Would have been easier with a tubular K or if I had a lift and then dropped the K. Unfortunately I was doing it on jack stands.

yea i am not looking forward to this at all, i have a local mustang mechanic who will pull it for 250 bucks, but i too will be doing it on jackstands.... and tubular K has been crossingmy mind lately because of this stupid trans. issue....hmmm this is gonna suuck....
The other weekend I had to pull off one of my headers...I had it in my hand in about 2-3 hours..that was taking my time, and reinstalling one of the isolators back in as well.
I could probably do it in about an hour.

^^^reallly? how much did that K set you back? i am trying to get a KB and i am picking up another 85 T-Top gt this weekend, so i am trying not to take a bath in all this ahaha
I know everyone has said that the pass. side has to be removed but when I just did my T56 swap I took my T45 out and all I had to do is pry (not hard) on the passenger side header. Once I got the bulge where the starter goes past the header I just took the back of the trans toward to passenger side, and it slide out. I was surprised I was just trying to see if it could be done because taking the headers loose didn't look fun. And it worked for me which I was very happy about.
