It looks that easy under an f body... But the damn people of ford barily fit that 4.6 DOHC in there. I just want to know if you need to unbolt the engine and rock it left or right and if so how to go about doing it.

Have you ever even looked under the hood of a DOHC Cobra?

Headers install from the bottom on 4.6 cars. And it's a B!TCH.

If you'd rather not tackle the job yourself, I recommend Livernois Motorsports.
