Long-Tube Header Install!

[SlvrSnke01]

After serious debate and some skepticism regarding my mechanical abilities I am going to attempt to install Hooker LT's on my 01.

Some questions for those who have done or know about the install:

1) What special tools are needed (Engine lift, special wrenches, impact gun)?

2) Is it OK to re-use the header bolts (Going to replace the gaskets with new Ford gaskets)?

3) Should the car be tuned after(Will the LT's and off-road X drastically change my A/F). Can I go without for a while?

4) Any other advice/recommendations would be a big help! Please share anything you think would help.

BTW - A local shop wants $420 to install the headers and another $300 to tune.


Thanks for the help, I know this has been covered before.
