did have any issues with those headers? Did you have to modify them. They look line MAC headers.
THEY ARE MAC AND THEY HAVE NOT PRESENTED ANY PROBLEMS.
How about notching the K-member for the A/C compressor?
i DID HAVE TO MAKE A NOTCH IN THE K MEMBER BUT AFTER BACKWELDING AND BEEFING IT WILL BE GOOD AS NEW.
What is the pinion angle of the motor and rearend if you don't mind me asking.
WHEN I MOCKED UP FOR THE MOUNTS I ALSO JACKED UP THE TRANNY UNTIL i GOT 2 DEGREES AND THEN MODIFIED MY CROSSMEMBER TO FIT THE LOCATION ONCE AGAIN.
IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE ??? JUST LET ME KNOW I WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP..

that's awesome, i agree. Had i not bought 2" drop spindles, i'd do something like that.. oh well. I'm modifying my headers this week, i'll post detailed step by step pics as i go to help any of you who want to modify race pacesetters, provided that is, that i do a good job on them.
