Updated pics of the 55 LS1 Truck Well after waiting a couple weeks for my fabricator, he was finally able to notch the K member and make new motor mount brackets, plus got my Mac headers installed.
He notched the K member so if I need to take the A/C Compressor off it's easy to get a ratchet in there.
Instead of modifying my existing FBody motor mount brackets he made new ones and welded them to the frame with a 3x1" crossmember.
He also dimpled the driver's side header primary tube to make it clear the frame. Question will there be a heat problem with my brake lines being so close to the header?
What would you have done different if you were doing this?

Looks good. You may run into the same problem I did on the thermostat housing. If so, this is how I solved it by cutting the outlet 35 degree, then rotating it. It's currently at the welding shop to be tig welded. It's a tight fit in my '56 Burb.
