Cant tell you for sure on a '63, but on my '67 Coronet w the 2-1/8" stepped TTI headers, engine in 1st, then jack car "way" up on stands. Make sure starter is installed and wires to starter are installed. Remove motor mount bolt on one side, jack up engine and install header on that side. Best to install studs on both end holes to hold header in place. Snug header down then lower engine and install engine mount bolt. Repeat on other side. Spark plugs are a pain. Most of passenger side were accessible from underneath car. I had to use 1 accel short header plug on passenger side #4 cylinder to give room for spark plug boot. 383 stroked to 496 w 440 Source heads.

I did just that with my 63 Sport Fury. I built a 493 with Indy EZ heads and the Indy dual plane intake. I use the 2" TTI headers and the TTI 3" full exh system. I installed the eng from the top and layed the headers in the eng bay as I set the eng in. I had a friend hold and work each header up to the eng as I lowered it in. I don't have P/S as I did not want it and don't need it. Mine is an original 383 auto car and its now a street/strip car that's is 99% a street car. Nothing is modded on the body as the springs are all in stock location and its not tubbed any. Ron

Here is my car. It was simple to install the eng and headers in it. I also use the stock K-frame which works fine for me. If I can help with any other info just let me know. Ron
