No it will not install from the top so you have 2 choices you can install from the top but you will need a few hands to hold the headers out of the way while you slide the egine into place or the way I would do it is to drop the K frame down , put everything onto the engine lower the body over the K frame & engine ,that way everything headers , starter fan , pulleys etc can all be bolted on & you will scratch nothing installing it .
