WOW, what a way to post a question.
Anyway, I have always put my Hemis and trans in from the bottom as a complete unit. There is no room to do anything with headers otherwise. I don't know if it can even be done from the top because I have never even tried. It certainly seems like a much larger wrestling match dropping it in from the top.
Let us know how it goes.

My is Slightly different. I have a tubular K frame with coil overs. I welded up my 4 piece Hooker Super Comp headers as on piece and can install them both at once from underneath with the engine installed.

Are they really different from a B-body with the same OEM restrictions?

One thing no one has asked the OP is whether he is planning on 2 1/8" or 2 1/4" tubes. On my 2 1/4" TTIs, the lower row of bolts are an absolute pain to get to. Now, with his fender wells removed, it might be easier on the OP's car. But still around the shock tower could be a problem.

These are an older nos Hooker 2-1/8 race set I bought 4-5 years ago for a b-body project car I sold before moving to Tennessee. Ceramic coated, adjustable but the struts and primary tubes for lengthening didn't come with this set. Can't say how old they are but I can say it was before Hooker turned into crap mfg...these are very nice headers.

I have the TTI 2.25" primary 4" collector headers on my '70 cuda. It has all stock front suspension and everything else. The passenger side header will go in the car after the motor is in. If you unbolt it, it will just about fall out of the car. Bolts aren't that bad to do from underneath the car. Had to do a little massaging to the top outer primary tube to clear the torsion bar ahead of the collector. The driver's side Needs to be in the car prior to the motor going in. Most of those bolts are easily done from up top. I do have a motorplate instead of factory mounts.

Now, with his fender wells removed, it might be easier on the OP's car. But still around the shock tower could be a problem. I'm glad you brought this point up. I have a friend with an extra set of TTI 2.25" headers (#214s) for my 70 540" Hemi powered E body, but I'd like to run Hotchkis Torsion Bars and either a Firm-Feel or Borgeson steering box. I'm wondering if the 2.25's will work, or will I need to go with the TTI 2.125" versions... Anyone know or have experience with this? K Member is stock.

Aren't those steering boxes smaller that the original power boxes? And the 'bars shouldn't matter. My block is a World iron and the 2 1/4 tubes are all over the stock power box. I slotted the box mounting holes so I could move the box over just a bit and dimpled the tube that was right up against the box. I also slid a piece of insolation between the tube and the box trying to reduce the heat in the box. Engine location is critical. My K is by Al Debevic.
