The mounts were $290.00 and the headers are right around $800.00, not bad for really a custom, coated, step race header. The headers arent low at all. Theres no transmission crossmember holdiing the rear of the engine up so it just looks like there low. Thats way it kind of pointing down to the rear.

Been busy working and house renovations. But here are a few update pics. Not a lot done. Gonna get back on track.
Changed the springs. These are From Brian Tooley and are a great quality spring kit.

you know soap/water and a mr clean magic eraser will clean those inner fenders right up usually.

the BRP mounts/stock K look like they sit the engine higher in the bay than AJE setup, but most fox cars are running a cowl hood anyways so no big deal right!

I am getting things together for a very similar swap. I need to know what I need as far as wiring to make run and drive off the key and also fuel lines, pump and filter? Any help please.

Ill try the eraser. It is higher I think. But, I dont think it would of fit inder the flat hood either way.

I havent got to that aprt of the wiring yet. As far as my fuel system, its overkill, but I only wanted to do it once. I have a Product Engineering 460 filter/pump which is feed fron a fuel cell with a -12 line. Then from the pump its -10 to the fuel log and regulators. I plan on running a nitrous kit, and this engine nis only to get me by till I get my other one complete.
