My starter has to come out at the same time as the header comes loose. And of course the "Z" bar is in the way also. I use a floor jack with a 2X4 that is longer than the depth of the oil pan. Jack one side at a time. Be patient or have allot of booze on hand. 4 speed street legal. Best time 10.99 @ 124 mph on 93 octane pump gas @ 3926# total weight
