I have put a flat washer under the 2 inside/inboard steering box mount bolts, to angle box away from engine, then loosened the 3 bolts holding the steering column base to the floor, to align as nec, - to gain clearance. I have seen a u-joint replace the coupler, can't remember vehicle. "Flaming...

I had a a Challenger bblk, I had to take a belt sander to the head flange to get it to fold under, kinda like this one. That header was fkd, but I got it to fit. The old days were a nightmare, no 2 headers were the same, hand welded, flange was like a mountain range, weld/ file every set. At...

I use a $5 piece of chain, from hemis on down wrapped in black tape, no vibration, lotsa horsepower, lol

I'm often happy with 1/8th clearance, depending on torque side and mount condition. No rattles, no leaks, no dings .

You're kidding, I'll be in touch, thnx

Bob, that pic in post #24, - which tube is that, what cylinder ?

I've got some 40 yr old, I'm afraid to try, lol

I think a lot of us gave Thanx to Timothy Leary, I did .

Very awesome, thnx for sharing.

Bob, the only other time I saw an issue like this, the installer didn't know the engine sits something like 1 1/2 inches to the passenger side, and he had centered the engine in the frame and had major issues like you. I'd really be interested, I'm sure I asked before, where your engine/crank...

The 453 fit just about every model, but you certainly could be right.

I'm convinced there's something outta whack with those headers. Trust me, I done bunchas. I haven't seen anyone have so many issues with sooo many different things .

I'm really at a loss as to why you're having so much trouble Bob, I wish I had a magic wand to help you out. I have had to remove the steering column and remove a few inches off the bottom of the column, and move the lower bearing up. I really don't remember which vehicle. Make sure you contact...

Very nice . I'd keep the bags on as long as possible, to just before fire up. Hand prints often show after fire-up with Ceramics, even after wipe-down with brake clean. Not sure about the SS . fwiw .

Dudes up here tried to make their tinny moostangs sound powerful .

I used to tack them at the top, cuz they often got stolen .

He loosened the tank straps and shifted it to best position, and folded tank corner a bit . It was a bit messy, proto type, so to speak.

My son's got offset, minitubs, 2 1/2 beside the tank out between the frame and spring, back in, and the mounts/tailpipes are about an inch from stock location.He did say " if I could do it again" - but no rattles.

...we just capped the collector, then drilled a 2 1/2 inch ( 3" now)hole on the side of the collector the size exhaust pipe to be used, went sorta straight in and hung about 90* ish to the mufflers. At strip just undid 3 bolts, put on extensions and threw the cap in the backseat till go home time .

Out the proper tips to keep that distinctive Mopar sound. If you don't get the exhaust past the rear bumper, your going to wonder why there are little black acid pits in the chrome of the bumper, that needs wiping off after every drive. jmo

I have had the pleasure of installing lotsa headers, I can tell you the ****-faced grin on every face that came back after a test drive, never complained once . Then they open the headers, and the grin gets huge .

If engine access is you're concern, what's to access down the side of the block below the ports, with shorties winding back and forth you can't even see the side of the block. People act like you take headers off every week. I raced for years, took heads off over the fender, loose headers, long...

This is a previous post of mine. Novices can have a challenge putting long tubes in, but seldom read instructions, - and ***** like you have to take them off every weekend. Doug's 453 on sale.

Kinek is across Canada I believe . Check link above

No Kinek holds the pkgs on the US side of the border, you skip across the border, pick up pkgs at US warehouse, bring pkgs back to border crossing Customs, go inside, pay taxes, go home. The Seawings shipper is "bonded", picks up in Blaine, brings to Victoria Airport in "bond?", supplies the...

My ferry fare is over $300 round trip, and 2 hr drive each way. I often accumulate a whole buncha sale stuff over a month, sometimes longer for Xtra charge. For you maybe a long drive, or short flight, rent a car/trailer. I have saved Soo much $$$, and the wife's real lucky in the Casinos. The...

Lotta suppliers ship free in lower states, that gets the item to my shippers address in Blaine WA. free. Then each pkg was $15 - 18, landed in Victoria B.C. Then I paid the sales taxes to Customs, - done.

What I have done is use a place like Kinek, a warehouser on the US side of the border that'll hold a package/s for a month for $5?ea. ( Older price check link) Canadians can bring back $800 each duty free if outta country 48 hrs plus. My wife and I take a moho down to a Casino for a long...

I think the trick was to use 273 gaskets on whatever header .

My preference is lay the headers where they belong, with the plastic bags covering everything up to the flange, as best possible (ceramic), lower the engine without Bell etc. Sit the engine on its mounts with suitable spacer between pan/steering gear to hold it up, all bolts in but loose. Use a...
