Install headers before or after
 
Just curious what most do. Swapping in a new motor and tranny into my 87. Should I install headers before or install them after I get the motor and tranny back in the truck?

After is my vote. Drop in your engine and trans, bolt up headers, well up exhaust, all is done.

After, will likely have to snake them in from underneath...but pretty simple and easy to do.

Ive done both. It is a little easier to get the engine in with them off.
