Default JBA Headers install

Hey guys I have a 97 F150 I finally started to remove the headers + Bolts and surprising they all came off without a hitch.... But the issue is I have aftermarket JBA Headers and I cannot get them in they keep getting stuck on things going in is there anything else I have to remove?? Please let me know... Any help would be great

What are they hanging on? Going in from the top or bottom?

If your trying to go in from the bottom I found pulling the motor mount bolt and using a big pry bar to rock the motor over slightly greatly increased clearence to install them.

They keep getting stuck on some Cyl that is above the starter.... At least I think that's what it is....

Where is the motor mounting bolt? What's it look like? And should it slip right in?

I'm trying to go in from the top because it looks most easiest. Should I remove the plastic?
