What motor mounts you have? Or you use a aje kmember?
Stock manifolds? How do they clear?

It has stock k member and adapter plates with stock manifolds. But I'm going to switch to aje and long tubes.

the stock manifolds fit but need to be trimmed by the steering shaft.

i see
what mounts do you have ? custom mounts or UPR?

i assume AJE Kmember is the most reasonable..
but it needs the extra steering shaft as well since the kMember sits lower than stock.
I was planning on stock Kmember + hooker mounts but they not out yet and there are restrictions regarding headers etc.
so a AJE gives the best clearance for the $ i guess and its bolt on and you can even use the stock the control arms etc which i want to do.
+ speed enginieerings LS longtubes work as well.

Well....this is basically my car in a nutshell lol (2001 V6). Watching this closely. Am I reading this correctly, those are stock TRUCK manifolds? How did you get past that monster 3 bolt flange? And is that a stock hood?

pretty sure these are F-body manifolds, the steering shaft is pretty much touching the flange, V-Bands welded on would be a good cheap option. I think LS2 manifolds might fit but not positive.

Yes its the stock 99 cobra hood, Im pretty sure they put this hood on the 02-04 V6 cars?

Drove the car home today, Going to put some miles on it before I rip the K-member out. The oil leak is so bad it just drips oil when its running.

Probably going to run the battery relocation wiring on the lift at work.

Thinking about ordering the 03-04 Cobra front bumper to wrap up my front end. I have a 4 inch cowl hood im repairing at work for it, and the 03-04 Cobra spoiler.
