Just remember it goes from the fuel pump relay to the inertia switch then to pump. So best to upgrade both switched power leads b

Headers, 4 torque convert nuts, transmission bolts, 2 bolts holding the enginge brackets (or take 3 that bolt each housing to the block).

It's easier with the intake off. So if u donthat u can get to the top two tranny to blow bolts at the top of the enginge bay.

They suggest that you pull the cab. But i got mine out of the hood with a little wiggle room. Cut a piece of 1/2" plywood to protect your condensor. And come right out of the top. Once the motor mounts are loose you'll have room to maneuver.

You don't need to disconnect the a/c or power steering lines. Just unmount them and lay them to the side.

LOL. You really haven't done anything like this before have you? Yes. Remove the starter and the transmission inspection plate to get to the torque converter bolts. Remove both drive shafts, shift linkages, harness connectors, transmission mount from the tranny. After you get it detached you can slide it back on the cross member out of the way rather than completely removing it.

I used a combination of ratchet wrenches & long extensions and sockets to get to the upper bell housing bolts. They're a pain. But doable.

Also, I used a large pry bar to wedge in the flex plate to keep it from moving while doing the TC bolts
