I haven't worked on a V6 before so I don't know how much room there is to remove the manifold. I know that when I remove my engine in the Cobra I just leave the shorty headers on the heads because the headers are really hard to get in and out off the head. It's easier just to remove the head and header as one piece.

Tyler, we didn't meet but I was the tall guy with the tall blonde wife and the two little girls. If you want some help with it let me know. My only requirement would be that you come out to my house to do it. I live out in Fontana but I have any tool that we would possibly need here.

I picked up Rx-Snake from Ben's house with my trailer and towed it to my house. I'm the one that made and installed the roll bar.

I originally just used my totally awesome AAA to bring it home, one of the best values going. If you don't have the 100 mile package, get it. Anything that requires DMV, go to AAA, you'll live a longer and more stress free life. For later work, Ron picked it up with his trailer.

last time this happened it wasn't driveable and broke down on us in yorba... we can certainly try to move it around but i feel that it would likely be unsafe to make the trip from lake forest to fontana.

If you want me to help just let me know when you have the manifold and we can arrange a day to do the install. I'll come out with my trailer and we can tow the car back to my house and do it here.

Tyler,

Why not try to drive it around your immediate area a little bit and see how it does?
