I have a question if anyone knows, just pulled a 3.0L out and rebuild the whole thing and i got North west Offroad full length headers and im wondering if i can fit the engine back in if i attach them first or am i going to have to bolt them on after the engine is back in. thanks

Won't know till ya try! Saying that, I did have to pull my Downey headers when I pulled my 3.0 just to get the motor out, but the front was destroyed and the inner fenders were pushed in to the point they were almost touching the heads. I always wondered if I would be able to remove and install the motor with the headers installed, so keep us posted.

yeah it is a tight fit hopfully though i can put them on before

how much were the headers?

sparticus

they were like too much, no 1200 bucks but they should be sweet

Wow...now I'm really happy about my downey's...paid $200 for a complete exhaust. headers back to the tip at the end of the tail pipe. It was used of course...but well worth it...

I just did the same thing. Wasn't sure I could get both of them on and still fit it in. I did install the passenger side and it went in just fine. Since the drivers side is easy to get to it wasn't really a problem. The biggest problem I had was with the slave cylinder and the clutch line. Good luck.

they were 1200 bucks? holy ˟˟˟˟ maybe im not going to get them lol... =[

If you go with the Doug thorley ones they are only 606 at summit racing

Blair27

are they crappy though?

sparticus

no they are just as good i think the only difference is they are not full length headers but all the reviews were great

sparticus

Okay so i ended up putting the headers in the engine bay and then setting the engine down on them and then screwing in the studs, i really don't think they would fit if you put both on ahead of time but this proved to be easy enough
