Long tube header install with engine out of car
Does anyone know 100% for sure if the engine can be put back in with MHP long tube headers attached on both sides?
Im thinking it might be easier to pull the engine to do the headers, head bolts and blower install.

I would ask George Smooth, he had the engine out of the car and had pictures of the headers on it. Weistec also assembles the headers with the engine out of the car.
I'm just quoting from pictures ive seen. However it might have been just a test fit, probably a safe idea to call Weistec.

Does headers George has are not MBH. And his are bigger then 2inch primary's .
To answer your question I recall George saying something about having to unbolt the subframe to get the motor in with the headers on.

Im talking about the picture above on this page. The one that shows the engine out with the headers on it.

I suggest branches on, supercharger off as it causes angle problems against the sidewall when you want to pitch the motor for branch clearance.

I'm sure that we can put the engine and do the MHP header then put everything back without any problem! The benifit is that you can keep the heat shield of engine mount by "re-shaping" them!
Have no idea if it's still easy to do blower installation before putting the engine+header back!

Im late but i installed MHP long tubes on my garage floor with to jack stands, a jack, and basic hand tools. Wasn't to bad and was very doable. I recommend having a friend with a lift you can use.
That being said i wouldn't do it again on the floor.
