Installing hooker super comp headers.
How difficult is it to install the HSC's with a BB in the car? I have almost everything that I need to drop the motor in the car except for the roughly $600 for the headers. I am getting really antsy to put the motor and trainie in the car. How hard is it to install the headers after the motor has been put in?

Installing headers isn't too difficult, but there can be some trouble spots. Sounds like you don't have an old exhaust system to remove, or old exhaust manifolds to remove, so you are already past the hardest parts! 
On my 68, I couldn't remove the drivers side exhaust manifold! It was the most frustrating thing. I finally figured out how to unbolt the motor mount and jacked up the motor enough to remove the manifold. I also had a very minor clearance problem on the passenger side - with the idler arm. Otherwise the headers went on pretty easy.
