Meant to add, everything was bolt on parts, pretty easy.  A transmission
jack is a good idea, I used to horse the things up from under the car by
myself, but those days are gone.  I fabricated a wooden cradle that I
attached to my regular floor jack when I put mine in.

I had some tight clearances with my dual exhaust, but it is not stock.
