How was the removal/install? Did you have to get anything special as far as the lift? I am going to be putting in a 400 in the near future and just curious what kind of headaches I have ahead of me
 
No major glitches. Just be sure to remove and install from the side of the car as the front is too long. You'll be fine to figure out the rest...no tricks to it. :amused:
