Headers queation!

The easiest way to do it during an engine swap is to put the headers in first and tie them up out of the way. Then drop the engine in, untie the headers and bolt them up.

I'd also consider not running that heat wrap stuff. It's terrible for the longevity of the headers especially if you ever get them wet.

X's 2 on this, You'll want to position the headers when you are about 4 inches shy of the engine is place, once positioned you can lower it in. At the same time, put your starter on too. If you run the smaller diameter, you can have the starter on upon dropping the engine in, not sure if you have the larger though. Doing it this way rather than when the engine is already installed, saves you from having to remove the oil filter adapter.

I agree with both points here.
