Seen headers installed on a lot of '73-'77s over the years. Only thing you have to do is remove the frame reinforcement bars that go from the engine crossmember to the side rails. Nice looking headers.
Car looks good too.

Old man safety tip - use jack stands and wood blocking instead of those blocks next time. Odds are low, but concrete blocks can fail all at once, especially hollow cinder blocks. Please tell me you did not get underneath when it was supported by the blocks and floor jack!

For future reference, a '73 or '74 "A" body crossmember has the double hump design, and is a more direct fit for the '77 frame. If you could locate the frame brackets and rubber cushions that go with the Skylark crossmember, you could use that to mount it with. The 1964-72 Pontiac, Olds and Buick "A" body brackets will work.

yeah the 73-4 one is certainly preferable but sooo expensive,,,, i just need ta get to a junkyard that hasnt bailed all their older stuff yet! for instance, i asked the salvage yard a few years ago if i could buy this old beat 67 lemans they had so i could make a gto clone, and theyre like no its not for sale we only sell parts,, then a few months later they crushed the whole thing!! AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!
