For clutch work and installing headers. You do not have to drop the motor.

To drop the motor. You need a lift because it drops from the bottom. The whole engine cradle comes down.

Yeah I understand the whole cradle comes down, I do not want to do it that way via the entire assemble coming out from the tech manual. I want to unbolt everything and pull it out the front after taking the radiator/crashbar off. Every video I have seen do the headers without pulling the motor looks miserable.

I put FI LTH's on my Z. The right side took me about 45 minutes do to. The left side took me about 5 hrs. There is more in the way. For me, the biggest headache was getting the exhaust manifold heat shield out. You wanting to pull the motor out will take a day. Then another day putting it back in. Then you have to worry about not breaking any sensors and reconnecting them too.

Well I got it done, now just to get it back in

was about 3 hours to get the motor pulled and gave me ALL the room to get the headers installed and worked out nicely to get the lightened flywheel/clutch and pressure plate and CSC elimination kit installed without actually dropping the trans
