    Ok guys I almost finishing up my engine swap but my downpipe bolts are holding me from putting my rear headers In could i use shorter dogbones and 3/8 ratchet socket to pull will I have enough clearance to pull the bolts off? I would like to take them from the top of the motor if necessary thanks!!

    Can't you just unbolt the dogbones, and rock the engine forward to install the bolts?

    Oh..ok.

    If you go underneath with a swivel and extensions..you should be able to get them.
    Otherwise..you could sawzall the pipe as high as possible But getting them from the top..is a huge pain.
