long tube header install??

[1990jmcturbo]

so im putting mac long tube headers and lethal x pipe on my car. curious on anything too watch out for? i am using the engine support contraption from harbor freight too hold the motor up while i drop the k. how hard is it too drop the k? i am going to reuse the stock studs and nuts with medium lock tight on them. and buy a new oem header casket. i hear i should run rtv between the headers and the gasket. NOT between the gasket and head. this will be my first time dropping the k member. not sure what too expect. and not EXACTLY sure yet where im going to connect the engine support too the motor. they say there is a couple long bolts i can use about the right tensioner? all help appreciated. happy holidays too all of you.
thanks jeff :dancenana:

Was the toughest project I tackled. Just have alot of patience, and beer. Make sure you have a lift!

I think the engine support contraption is the easier way to do it. I did a combination of lowering the k member and raising the engine with a jack. It was tough, probably alot easier to do it the way you're going to do. Has anyone tried it the way I did?
