Best advice is DON'T, but you've probably been told that, and are going ahead anyway!

A buddy had a 1979 F-150 with a 351. On the driver's side, IIRC, some of the header tubes went OVER the motor mount strut, and some went beneath it. In other words, you had to undo the motor mount to get the header around it.

If your setup is like that, you'll be ANGRY before you're done!

Also, if the truck has A/C, access to the RH side exhaust is pitifull!

As the other poster said, use GOOD header bolts, even if you have to buy them separately.

If the tubes are arranged such that there is straight-in access to the bolts, Allen head header bolts are a LOT quicker and easier to get installed and tight than hex-head header bolts.

Also, there are header bolts on the market with locking tabs held on with a snap ring. These can be a great deal to keep the system tight, but, obviously, they are hex head, rather than Allen head, so installation will be slower.
