Default Head swapping

Is head installation something that can be done without pulling the engine out of the car or would that be foolish? This is a curiosity question (as opposed to a practical question )

I pulled mine off without pulling the engine, although I eventually pulled the engine as you well know. Removing the wiper motor gives ya extra clearance. C'mon Bryant, you know you wanna port those puppies :D

Its a lot of work but you can do it. The bolts in the back on the passenger side next to the AC are the hardest to torque properly.
