Super clean car BIGCOWL-IMP2, that my plans for my engine bay, get it as clean looking as possible, little tougher to do with a turbo'd fuel injected motor though haha. Awesome car!

I'm using a modified PA racing k-member and an AJE trans crossmember btw

Check out Afco.

They have a complete kit with K member and headers.

The k member is tig welded. I looked at them yesterday in Indy lots of things that no other K member offers.

Thank you.......ya it was a fun and exciting project and now that its done i`m bored and i want to do another one......or i`m thinking of selling this long block and building another long block so i can go faster......

Theres a couple things that you guys need to know if your doing what i did...
If your useing the AJE K-member, Kooks headers and the AJE trans cross member for th350 trans.......You guys will need the cut the steering colume shorter where the shaft comes out at the fire wall. Now when you put the flaming rivers steering shaft on the knuckle will clear the headers.....One more thing but hopefully Kooks also fixed this ??? The headers dump right at the AJE trans cross member.......so now you have to cut and reweld the cross member...

Stock length from Kooks and ya i could have cut maybe a inch or 2 but the smart thing was to cut and modify the cross member......now by doing that we could move the exhaust higher.......Which AJE should have done in the first place...

Why mod the crossmember. Trim the colllector short and the mid pipe should have a ton of room to get around the cross. I did this with my dynatechs. Took 10 min to fit them to my existing exh from the ford motor.

My 3" has 1/2" to the floor all the way back. Can't even see it from the side. I use a stock cross member with the C4.

Your stock cross member has humps 4 the exhaust.......my AJE had no humps.......but now it does and in the right spot......now my exhaust has a straight shot...

I have worked with a AJE cross member and found the clearance was about 3/8" less than stock one.

exhaust was built around a stock one with a aod and a glide was installed. it was 3.5"
