    I got my headers for my 302 yesterday and put the passenger side on but am having a hell of hard time putting the driver side on. Anyone have any tips to make things easier..

    Take the motor mount bolt out and lift the engine 3 or 4 inches. That should do the trick.:)

    1972 mercury comet with a maverick front end. It has a 1992 5.0 motor in it.
    I lifted my motor and also put the driverside on first since that is the more difficult one.

    If you have power steering you will need a power steering lowering bracket .
