IMG_0282.JPG 549 hits | 75.42 KB | Posted: 11/26/08 By pulling the now loose manifold forward I was able to disconnect the O2 sensor very easily.
IMG_0284.JPG 574 hits | 72.18 KB | Posted: 11/26/08 This made removing the old gasket material easy as pie.
IMG_0285.JPG 591 hits | 75.22 KB | Posted: 11/26/08 A trial fit of these Mustang shorties was the next step. Two bolts was enough to hold it in place.

IMG_0298.JPG 602 hits | 66.15 KB | Posted: 11/26/08 Again a trial fitting of the passenger's header was in order.

IMG_0202.JPG 680 hits | 67.73 KB | Posted: 11/26/08 I just drilled out a hole and enlarged it with a die grinder and stone, then tried the O2 bung/nut.

IMG_0232.JPG 578 hits | 68.59 KB | Posted: 11/26/08 If anything, I'd say these PaceSetter headers actually improve plug access on 90's
