big time, headers clear fine, starter doesnt fit, none of the holes line up so you have to drill them out to line up better. and tranny to bellhousing bolts you need 3 different sizes and have to tap the threads clean to get the bolts in, not fun when your under the car

I had to go through almost the same thing with my housing also. And the centricity to the crank was off and the whole housing needed to be adjusted off the dowels.

Glad I could help out. The socket to the face only hurt the first time. The 2nd and 3rd time weren't too bad, since I got used to it.

Car sounded absoluetly insane! I had a blast helping out!! So when does stage 3 begin?
