I am trying to install a set of fenton headers on my 49 ford flat head engine and can not get the bolts in on the drivers side, to tight. do I have to lift engine out or is there another way.

The front bolts are 7/16 and the rest are 3/8. If you are using 3/8 in the front holes that is probably the reason they will not tighten down.

And I was wondering why my 3/8" bolts weren't tightening at the front ports! Thanks for the info.

check the depth of the holes in the block so you do not try to install bolts that are too long. Damage can be done to the block
