exhaust manifold fitting

Hello there I was wondering if anyone has any tips for fitting a 6 branch manifold?
I was wondering if the best way to do it would be to undo the exhaust side engine mount and jack up the engine, as does this give you enough room to get the pipes in?

Thanks for your help

spark plug wires to rotor cap

I was wondering if anyone could help me put the spark plug wires back on the rotor cap in the right order, as i wasnt thinking when i pulled them off and when i removed the last one i realised what i had done.
So i was wondering in what order they go on from the top down please.

coolant hoses

Now that i have got my new engine in which is a m20b25 in place of a m20b20. I just need a hand on which collant hose goes into what i assume to be the heater matrix on the bulkhead. I was wondering if the hose from the back of the block goes into the upper or lower fixings on the bulkhead. Cheers Ian
