What headers are you going with? I'm interested in clearance of the BRP headers to the stock k-member.

Awesome! I am using my stock K-member also, but I am building my own mounts (free time at work....) One questions that I have is where did you get the AN steam hole fittings? Those things are trick!

I'm debating making my own headers from a set of Macs or BBKs, but before I do, I was hoping to see some pics of your setup with the BRP headers. If they fit really nice then maybe it's just worth buying them since I plan to run the stock k-member initially.

Have you fit the headers in yet?

Does the steering shaft go through the header primaries?

How much space is between the rear of the pass side head and the firewall? With the mod motor engine mounts I suspect I will have between 1/2" and 3/4" space between the back of the pass head and the firewall.

Thanks.

What this car a 2.3 or a 5.0 car? The v8 cars have a smaller brake booster that the 4 bangers do. Yours looks like the 4 cyl booster might just be able tp swap to the v8 one and not have your tall valve covers hit it.
