If they are the Kooks/JDM version the driver's side goes in from the top and the passenger side goes in through the fender well. New factory Ford gaskets are a must. O2 extenders will also be needed. Watch your starter wires and the main harness going to the trans. If not secure and routed proper they will burn through.

See here:

Driveshaft should be easy. Undo 4 bolts where the shaft meets the rear end pinion, but make a mark so it bolts back up exactly where it was.

I'm thinking Cometic makes new gaskets too, good gaskets and bolts a must. I'm planning on a set soon myself when I get the Dyantech's.

Dynatech includes high quality gaskets with their headers.
