If you lift the motor and the car, you
should be able to work it through from the top, without messing with the
steering. At least on my SB. Again, I'm not sure on the BB.
It was a pain even with my block! I'm fairly certain there are still a
few curse words lingering around in my garage from that
install!

Yeah, I
got the pass side in no problem. The driver side is proving to be a headache.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to remove the steering colume and see if
I can feed them in from the top.

Well, I can't be entirely
sure about a big block, but on my small block, I have to jack up the car,
and lift the motor off the mounts for the drivers side. I lift the car
for the proper angle, and lift the motor off the mounts for just enough
clearance. It's a pain, but it will fit. As far as the passenger
side, nothing is required. The starter can still be attached.
Good luck, I guarantee that you will bust a few knuckles getting it in
there.

Well, since I got
so much help on the valve covers, I'll try a harder problem. Does anyone
know which parts have to be removed to get a set of Hooker headers onto my
big block 70 Chevelle? So far, it looks like the starter and the steering
column have to move. I'd HATE to have to remove the heads to get them
on.
I need help on this
one - anybody know how it's done???
