I have FPA headers in both my 62 and 66. I put spacers in the 62 for clearance but it isn`t up and running yet. I just bought the 66 and I haven`t checked to see if it has spacers in but I did notice that the passenger side header is touching the idler arm bracket. I`m guessing that there are no spacers.
As for the installation of the engine in the 62, I lowered the engine into the car initially without the headers installed. I had the headers laying in the engine bay and lowered the motor onto them. That seemed to work for me.
