    I had to get in the most awkward position ever with a 6" extension swinging the air ratchet all the way around the alternator and sideways to finally get it.

    Then the crossover went on with 0 problems.

    Now for the rear plugs... Got one out. The other 2 (outsides) seemed to... Contort or bend.

    Next time.. just lean over the motor with your 10mm deep on a normal sized 3/8" ratchet. Should be quick and easy on a stock manifold. Headers..well I find 1/4" with a swivel etc work best.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Although..I am a bit cornfused as to why the rear manifold was off or the EGR wasn't bolted on when the engine was dropped into the cradle.

    The rear manifold was never off, and the engine was never lifted. I'm doing all of this with the block in.

    I'm getting there... Slowly, but... Unsurely.
