OK, I thought Rybar had the S&P mounts, but a friend has the ATS mounts and Hookers and one tube is just barely touching the box, I will talk to Tyler right now, and when I get back from vacation get the headers and add fitment pics, Vacation starts the 18th,

I have the ATS mounts and Hookers. Probably also worth mentioning that I have 327 stands which required grinding the lips off of one of the Energy Suspensions mounts to get them to drop down on the stands. Anyway, I probably was able to get the headers in without dimpling, but they touched the steering box in 2 places and the pitman arm. I wanted 1/4 air gap minimum, hence the beating in my pics on another thread.

I think the only difference in stands is SBC/BBC, but I'm going to check,

Not sure on the f-body, but a-body has 2 different small block mounts. One is short and wide, the other tall and narrow. They have different clamshells (the metal part that mounts to the crossmember.)

Short and Wide


Tall and Narrow

F-body is the same. According to the Energy Suspension catalog, looks like 69-72 302/350/396/400 use tall-and-narrow, everything else 67-72 uses short-and-wide. 73-92 use the "clam-shell" mounts.

Not exactly... http://www.camaros.org/engine.shtml#EngineMounting

According to CRG, all 67-68 SBC used the same stands. 69 302 and 350 use a different stand (and tall-and-narrow mount). And from what I've heard from ATS and AutoKraft, there may be some undocumented slight variations of the 67-68 SBC stands.

modified pacesetters, the pass fits great, but the driver i had to heavily modify. the pitman arm ball joint bumps the tip of the header, it's annoying. itd be fine if i had a steering rack.

Steve68 where you buddy, here's what I got. Drivers header tube #1 does touch the steering box ever so slightly. I could probably slide a sheet of paper through there. I also have more pics here showing the clearance against the subframe and a pic of the Borgeson u-joint that I had to use. The joint I ran was 13/16"-36 spline (Steering box end) and 1"-48 spline (column end) but I did find out an IROC 3rd gen box is 3/4"-30 spline. So measure your steering box output shaft with a digital caliper.

see pics: http://s34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...20head%20swap/

Steve I can give you the p/n but, like I was trying to say it may be a different size. I listed the sizes that I went with.
