Default 1997 Mustang Cobra header question

i know that it will be a pita but does anyone know how long it should take to install lt headers on a 97 cobra in the driveway? and are there any common difficulties with this task aside from no room.

if you know some mechanics, should take the whole weekend, if nothing elses arises. The easist way would to buy or borrow a engine hoist or cherry picker. hook to the engine and take the suspension/k member off..Brakes, springs and a arms (a arms to lighten the k memeber when it comes down or goes up, also before removing the a arms, pull the bolts out that hold the steering rack. then the a arm bolt will come out easier. Swap out the headers, then reverse for the k memeber and suspension. It's not that hard to do. just be safe and take your time. I just dropped my K member on the Cobra to add a tubular k memeber. not the first k member swap or dropping the K memeber. To me, it's easy.
