The car had to come apart to get the stock box out. I even cut the shaft in half to help facilitate the removal.
I had to lift the motor up and move it over to get the headers out.
Not bad for 10 years in the car. The hooker super comps fit great but even with my solid motor mounts I was making contact with the old steering box.
Because I pulled the headers I had to get new inserts for my earls header gaskets. These carbon inserts work great!
