I just put mac longtubes on my aod car last week. They went in, but were a pain. I ended up lifting the motor to the firewall, and took off the steering shaft, passenger side motor mount and starter. The bellhousing is a real pain to slide them around on the pass side. The first thing you should do when you start is take the instructions out of the box, rip them into 1,000,000 pieces and throw them out because they couldnt be farther from the truth. They tell you to install the headers from the bottom, but they go in from the top. They also said the motor only had to come up 1-2 inches, but i lifted mine probably close to 4. Hope you have an easier time than I did man, Good Luck. -John
