If I can do it on jackstands, anyone can.

What kind of hardware are you going with there Karl?

I would DEFINITELY spray EVERY bolt with thin lube before putting a wrench to it. And check out Cliff's links. I got a few snappics posted, but he probably has more comprehensive info...

I had front end perhaps 4" higher than front ramps would have had it up. (wheels off tho').

P side O2 harness connector is behind motor mount. I think everyone said that motor would have had to be supported / lifted, to access motor mount, and O2 harness connector.

DO REMEMBER the placement of the ex man flange bolts. I found IDENTICAL MISSING BOLTS PATTERN ON D + P SIDES. I'm certain it was by design (from BG).

Pulling the frame - to - hood support brackets really made it easy. Only real problem I had was the one bolt for that bracket, which broke loose the IN-FRAME spot welded nut, THEN I had to zip the head off with a Dremel, while the nut fell inside the rail.

Fixing that was sort of a hack, but it is tight now...
