Harder install clutch or headers
I have done the headers and was wondering which is harder the clucth install or the header install. Also are there any special tools needed? I know you need a 3ft extention but is there any thing else.
Thanks for any advice

I have done both. I would have to say the headers were more time consuming and harder to do. Now that I have had them off and on a couple of times Im much quicker but the clutch really wasn't bad at all. I had trouble the first time around trying to get the clutch fork to grab the throwout bearing. Everytime I pushed the clutch pedal the fork would fall off the clutch and get jammed. I couldn't figure out the problem so I dropped the tranny, driveshaft, etc. and checked it all out. First time around it took me about a day to do by myself along with a couple runs into town for tools. The 2nd time around I had the tranny down, everything taken off and put back together within 4 hours. If you have a friend help you I would say you could do a clutch job in a couple hours if you work quick. No real special tools were needed but I had to buy a 6pt. socket for the flywheel and a breaker bar to help get the bolts loose. Also a tranny jack would be helpful but I just used a piece of wood balanced on the jack under the tranny. It wasn't to bad at all..
