So we're pulling my head next weekend (for those that saw my "manifold bolts sheered off" thread, you know why) and I had a thought on how to save some time on re-installing but not sure if there are any drawbacks.

I have a built head sitting in the garage. Are there any negatives to bolting up my turbo manifold to the built head (outside of the car), then installing them as one piece once the factory head is off?

That Full-Race manifold can be a b*tch to bolt up in the car (I've done it twice now). So what do you guys think?

Scott-

 

no its just gonna be so freaken heavy, u gotta be very careful when setting the head down too, def need at least 2 people

 

Will have 4-5 people to help. Also, fenders and front bumper are off the car so we will have more room / easier time to work.....still no-go?

 

I say try it, is the intake mani on too?

 

if it will slide in without hitting anything go for it. I pull my head with the intake and exhaust mani attached, sometimes I leave the turbo on when I am feeling strong. Its really not all that heavy.
