Damn, I spent most of the night installing my engine. It's in there and the mac headers fit pretty good. The stering shaft clears them but they are being a pita to get bolted on and i'm going to have to bend/dent the collectors away fom the tranny a hair. It's nothing a ballping hammer cant do. I'm hoping for thursday night or friday night to fire her up. I will post up some pics in the morning.

Pics.

And damn these headers are going to be the death of me lol. it's small stuff but i have to lith the engine every time to check the clearance. I'm having grind some on the pass side but it's not that bad. The drivers side fits ok but I had to bend the linkage for the tranny to clear the header. I think i'm going to have to tap in the header a lil but eith a happer to make it fit. I will post some more pics once i get them off of the camera.

Looking good, but is that the stock starter I see? Make sure you have a good strong battery and don't go anywhere you're not planning on staying for under an hour or two. At least that was my experience....The good news is you should be able to change the starter without removing the Mac headers.
