minimum exhaust manifold clearance?
What is the minimum clearance for an exhaust manifold?
Just finishing up my ls swap, but i have a clearance issue with my hooker ls exhaust manifolds.
The clearance to my suspension upper A-arm is a about 1/8".
I already ground down the A-arm part that was hitting but it's still close.
I could grind the manifold but they are already ceramic coated...
Its probably what I'm going to have to do
I'm using Dirty Dingo "street rod" engine mounts with 1 poly and 2 rubber bushings(one under and one above).
I'm not sure how much movement the engine will have...

Yes, the alignment was ok, i had it done a few months before it was parked (before the swap started).
So i shouldn't need to move the spacing of the a-arm back further any time soon.
and if i have to I'll change the ball joint spacing instead of changing the shims behind the upper a-arm mount.
