With the steering shaft now sitting on the floor I find that the old header will NOT come out through the space between the firewall and the bell housing. I'm going to have reach up and cut it into parts to extract it. That should be fun!
Update: Success (mostly)
I had to cut the old header into 2 pieces to extract it. The new header fit and installed much easier. I had a flange installed to mate the new header to the old exhaust system. On the road again!
HOWEVER: I found that the motor mounts are in terrible condition. I have replacements from Delta but was not able to raise the motor enough to get them in place. The driver-side motor mount is fully split making it impossible to position the motor so that it does not touch the steering shaft.
Any suggestions on how to replace the motor mounts without pulling the engine?
