We put the steering shaft between the headers before we put the motor and all in the car. It was easier. We VERY CAREFULLY used 2 pry bars and slid the steering shaft between the header tubes. Done. No damage.

Obviously, the motor was in the k-member and THAT assembly was on the ground. We just lowered the car onto the k-member and someone has to guide the shaft into the firewall.
