Alot of these front end clips have various "options" to include headers that will fix, fender wells, hood hinge/front fender mount, etc. By fabbing them up I mean to say cut to fit those headers. You just don't see those headers everyday. I have a set myself.

Any new info here? I'm looking to pick up a Checkered racing setup for my 67 shortly. Going the LSX route, but undecided on trans choice. Any new feedback/help would be great.

would flipped camaro, C6, or truck manifolds have worked in place of the headers? We were going to try using manifolds, flipped upside down and facing forwards

so basically to install a lsx in a 63 will not be bad with swap mounts and running a th350 correct? just the headers will be a issue with the stock steering box in place. i plan on going carb set up also,no a/c or p/s. just a alternator. i am a little confused on what i will need to do for a oil pan using the stock front clip and steering though??

For stock steering linkage the GTO pan is the way to go.No production headers currently available for LSx stock steering but BRP is supposed to be workiong on a set.Engine position will be critical for any manufactures header to fit.If you are considering upgrading to Rack and Pinion steering (power or manual) Churchboys Racing makes a real nice set of 1 3/4 stainless headers that come with the engine mount adapter plates.Then you can use an F body pan.TH350 will work if you use a flywheel spacer as I recall.Transmission crossmember may require modification.I to am looking to do a carb'd 6.0 in my 67 when funds allow.
