For those of you that almost lost a finger or two while trying to get the header bolts in I would like to say instead of two missing bolts its down to 1!!!! I got the one in on the driver side. I sat back for a moment and thought..."What would Rich Shelby do?" So i just took a shorter ARP bolt I already had and grinded off the flange on the bolt! I love the Dremel tool! I cranked down on it and got about 3 threads into the head. Now all I need is a perfectly designed hammer to make a dent in the header on the Pass side so I can get that last bolt in.
