Its been a while. I am dreading revisiting my memories.
I recall years ago seeing images of Shelby American installing FE drivetrains in '67-'70 Mustangs by jacking the rear of the car WAY up and slipping the assembly in to place. If I recall correctly, with headers in place. I realize they would have been 'Tri-Y' style tubes.
Does anyone know if it is possible to remove this oversized mess with Hooker Super Comps in place? This car has been together for ever and I have bad memories...

Yes unfortunately my motor has been out multiple times in the last 3 years. And yes it goes in complete with hooker super comps. If it wasn’t for the steering box it would slip right in. But with a little finagling it goes right in c6 and all. I jack it up about a foot off the ground. Take off the steering. Ross is who showed this.

Thank you!
Dropping the drag link, possibly crossmember and sneaking around the steering box sounds for better than another round of dealing with all those header bolts again...
(Reason enough to postpone any progress for far too long)

Yes drop idler and tie rod ends and slide over. And definetly crossmember
