Edelbrock headers don't fit Got the car all back togather today and ran into some header fitment problems.
The driver side header was hitting the oil filter to the point that I removed the filter to install the header. Once the drivers side header was bolted up I though I would be able to install the oil filter, NOPE!, no room the get the filter to go on. On the passenger side the header collector is hitting the floorpan. I removed the passanger side motormount to lower that side so I could bolt the header up. Once the header was bolter up I couldn't get ther motor mounted back onto the motor mount because the header is hitting the floorpan.
No wounder these headers were on sale for $300.
I guese I'll be making a call to Edelbrock to see what they say.
I'm thinking for going with some Mac mid's. $500 and they come with an off road ypipe and they fit

I bought the ones on sale with the welded collector instead of the slip on HVMC because I didnt want a leak. Mine fit perfect. Car has 130k miles on it and I didnt even have to grind the K member. I had to dent the floor pan on the driver side and cut the little tab off the block with a sawsall (could have gotten around it if I jacked it up higher prob, but my jack stands were maxed out and I didnt feel like (or feel safe with making it higher) swapping them for larger ones. The Y pipe on the other hand I had to fight with. took me like 2-3 hours just to put the y pipe on it.
