How's the clearance on the driver's side of the frame with those headers? Are those the ECE mount towers?

alright i got the engine/trans installed....also ran the wireing for the rear (tail lights, turn signals, fuel sending unit, and fuel pump) kinda hard to see, but its held on with .5 insulated cushin clamps below the fuel line.... i also used factory style quick-connects, again keepin with the factory wires colors where applicable... i kept the factory round connect at the very rear x-member... i still need to add the protective wire loom over the exposed wires at the fuel tank, i know...and just for visual progress i put the radiator support on, i need to wash it tho, its dusty....
