Header, cross member, drive shaft issue

[989F150904]

Ok, my headers are in the way of my front driveshaft and I cant mount my front drive shaft til I put the transferase on the trans and I can't do that til I make a cross member to support it but don't want to do that til I know where my driveshaft is going to be so I don't create another problem... Where do I start?

put the trans and tcase in  frist take headers off put in driveshaft then build crossmember then buy headers that fit! lol  you need to have the trans and tcase in so you can get a idea on where everything is.. then build the shaft or just use a temp one. so you can make your cross member clear! as for headers may have to get a different set or build them for the project!

Ya I kinda jumped the gun on the headers I think. Not many people have Cleveland headers laying around so when I found a set I bought em. O well I guess, chalk another one up for the truck. Lol

I'll bolt the tcase to the trans tonight then and hold it up with a jack or something and pull the headers back off. Thanks betterbeaters
