Got my engine all mounted in and have been trying to figure out what to do about headers.Looks like prices start at about 400.00 and go up from there. So I took my none EGR F body manifolds to my machinist and he said that they are a very good design and should be good up to 550/600 HP.I thought that's great if I could just get to clear the frame. So after another trial fit I decided to have the bottom side machined down 3/16" to o" at the top. My machinist said no problem since most of the meat is on the bottom anyway. I got the back Friday and they fit like a glove. I now have about an inch clearance from the frame and they tucked right in to the block. I have "No" clearance issues anywhere. Best 75.00 I've spent in a long time.

Post some pics! The headers in your photobucket file...I guess they don't fit?

A guy I know fit regular truck manifolds down and forward in his without too much dicking around.

Photobucket won't let me post pics right now but I'll get some on there soon. Hope this helps you folks.

I used truck manis and cut the flange off and welded vbands. Work awsome. Check out build thread pics.
