65 mustang shock tower notch kit

[acnovak]

Good afternoon, looking for information (preferably a kit) to notch my shock towers to allow for the headers on a 427 . Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I'd be tempted to get the front subframe kit that does away with the shock towers entirely if I was building a big block 65.

he could be building a windsor based 427 stroker. OP here are a few links you might want to preruse;

That'd still be a tight fit but doable with the factory shock towers. I once helped an old roommate build a 351w powered 65 coupe. We used Hedman headers on that one and they fit pretty good within the confines of the factory shock towers.
