Kinda depends on the brand of longtubes.

i have mac long tubes as well im not sure if they can stay or if you have to move them? any one know for sure
i have bbk and when i did my tranny i had to remove the passenger side header to get the tranny out. it wasnt hard, bought myself a set of flex head wrenches and it was out pretty quick.
does anyone know if i can unbolt the bellhousing with it still in the car?
no, y ou can't separate the bellhousing, i just did a tranny on my cobra like a week ago. and from hard learned experience, you have to take the pass side motor mount, and header off, to get the tranny to drop. i tried and tried, and the tranny wouldn't come out without taking those two out. so good luck.........
flexheads are key in this...hahaha.....let me know how it goes.........

i know it is going to be a pain i installed the headders a few years ago and that was about a nightmare, ive been thinking of just taking it somewhere and having it done
When you guys say, "it wasn't that hard" to remove the passenger header... define not that hard. All I hear are horror stories, and that's one of the things keeping me from pulling the trigger on longtubes.
Is the tranny broken of clutch or flywheel? I havent had lt's but if the problem was in the tranny why couldnt you leave the bellhousing on and slide the tranny back and away from the headers? I could probably leave my h pipe on and pull just the tranny.
Because the T45 does not have a separable bellhousing. It's all one peice...
+1 except i bought them.
i think the bellhousing unbolts but u cant get to all the bolts with it in the car because the clutch is in the way also the trans has a bad vibration when i let off the throtel
the T45 does have a seperate bellhousing... it unbolts from the inside, not the outside like a T5....
Well doesnt that suck.
