Yeah I have heard about problems with fitting them. But lucky me my heads are off as of right now. Soo when I get them resurfaced Il drop in my headers before head so I wont have to worry and get worked up over nothing XD

It's not really a matter of getting everything to clear the heads, it's more a matter of squeezing the collector or flange past the block. Having the heads out will make it easier, but you'll still have a tight fit and you may still need to unbolt the motor mounts and jack it up a little bit. It's not that hard, but it can turn into a pain, just make sure you have a buddy there to help out!
