Engine & Tranny Installation-Dougs Headers, Poly Lock Mounts, Nothing Fits!

I'll bet money his headers weren't bad. He jumped the gun and beat stuff to death.

You have a bunch of non-factory stuff in there. You need to find the happy place where things line up. It take some effort sometimes.

I know you mentioned that you didn't think the engine could be moved side to side because it was tough to get in, IMO, that's just not correct. You can move them a bit from side to side once the mount stud is in the k frame.

It's gonna be tight no matter what you do, it's the way these cars are.

okay, probably my headers are fine and its just my cobbled up mess. I have put alot of work into this though, ive been working on it and have tried many variations..

as of now, the only thing aftermarket are the RHS heads...i dont know if those ports are located differently than stock heads or the headers are mounted in a different position or what...i do have 1 inch torsion bars though, and my stock ones were .87"....thats a difference of .13 thousandths of an inch...were talking 4 sheets of paper in thickness here...not much difference at all......

tight i can deal with....i would love for everything to be tight, but this isnt the case,,,,it rubs/interferes/touches is what's unacceptable.
