Using a cherry picker is how I'm installing mine. No dropping the K-member when your able to lift motor about 5-6 inches. Use a thich pad to put between end of cherry picker and inside of hood. Remove the hood prop from hood and let the hood rest on cherry picker when your at the desired height. Hold the hood up while raisding the picker.
So far I have the drivers side BBK header in with new poly motor mounts also. Doing the passenger side right now, then the trans mount. I put about 5 hours grinding & polishing time on the headers to clean the weld, splatter weld marks and port match to factory gasket which matches the head ports.
