I hope not, I've been told the trans comes out without removing the headers.Not horrible but not fun. + 1 on the trans jack and I would get a few wobble extensions and 1 universal for the starter bolts. I am interested to hear if you need to drop the pass side header for it.
Probably not. It would be high enough to do the work underneath, but you need to get the car high enough to be able to roll the transmission out. Do you have any good jackstands for the rear? Then you could jack the front up high enough temporarily.Very solid points everyone. The shop quoted me 510.00, I may go for it. The wife gets really nervous about me working under the car. I wonder if the race ramps are high enough for up front?
Yup, I have plenty of jack stands. I may look into buying the Pittsburgh Jack shown in link below.Probably not. It would be high enough to do the work underneath, but you need to get the car high enough to be able to roll the transmission out. Do you have any good jackstands for the rear?

Have him give you a hand haha having an extra pair of hands for this type of job would make things a lot easier. I will be doing this sometime in the next few weeks, too, but I have the motor and trans completely out of the car. There are some helpful videos on YT related to this, defiantly give them a watch before you begin.More great tips, keep them coming! I'll likely have more questions once the install starts. My father will be in town this week, so I'll likely wait until his visit is over with. He says everytime he visits something is being worked on the car. So maybe this time I'll get him a ride in it.
