install these MSDS headers? LOL. I am getting a tad antsy to put them in. I got them when I bought the car. They have never been installed, so they are perfect. I have been reading up on the sticky install and need to get MIL eliminators. Maybe we could make a mini meet out of it so we can help when other people install theirs? Just a thought. Of course I would supply beer....
 
Use a lift if you can find one; drop the motor down a couple inches and it's cake. I'd volunteer my long, skinny hands, but damn I've done this before! :crazy: This install sucks!

LOL, I should've phrased that as a minimeet/beer n' learn using my ride as the example of how to do future installations. I can see that it will take some extensive wrench time getting them in there.

No, you never told me that. I don't know what to say because I wouldn't have bought anything but the real thing.

Dude if you pulled that crap on me I would so track you down. That is BS you straight scammed him! WTF? On a lighter note everything is the same on the motors but the intakes right? If so it doesn't matter anyway. Should be the same performance wise
 
no, the cams are different

the upper and lower intake manifolds are different, but that car has svt UIM and LIM
 
That is really shady that you didn't tell him that. If you had sold me an SVT with an se motor and not told me I would be giving you a swift kick in the balls. I hope you sold it to him cheap to make up for the fact that this car was missing a key component that makes it worth more money. If you sold it at KBB value or more you owe him a refund or deserve a good ass kicking

Well, there's nothing I really can do about it and don't know if it's worth raising hell about either. I know the cams in the SVT are different which I could change out, but another difference is the pistons according to some things I've read.
