Re: Good or bad ideal?

You're creating a lot more work for your self by pulling the motor to install headers. You'll have to lift the motor a bit to get the headers in but that's far from actually removing it. You wouldn't be able to install the motor from the top with the headers bolted on. So if you're set on removing it, out the bottom is you're only option.

Yep! set on taking it out from the bottom also I while i'm at it I think it would better to do some other things while it's out could be wrong?

Makes no sense at all to pull the eninge to do headers, but you've already made up your mind..... so what exactly is your question?

After you unbolt the the manifolds, and while installing the headers, plugs and wires become very simple.
