And that is an easier method of re-assembly, if you are comfortable with the car that high on stands. Leave or take the oil filter off as well as the plugs and the header will slide right up in place from underneath.

That's probably what'll happen. I'll likely lower the engine in with the car on the ground, and then jack it up to get everything underneath buttoned up and the headers on.

I'll nab some pictures of the other header tonight or tomorrow.
