I had to use them so my air cleaner would fit in the shelby hood.....I feel your pain, is the front end damaged and out of square?
I would have put a cheap dent in the header to clear the box, sometimes you can heat the header pipe and bend it around a little
Bummer, those mounts will give you plenty of room to wiggleHeaders 600$ ceramic coatedn
How far do you think you can shift an engine right or left before you cause driveline issues.
I would bend the poorly-made headers before I misaligned the engine. Steel tubing is a "plastic" material and the headers cold be bent 1/4" or more quite easily to solve your problem. Protect the header tube from the gearbox with thin plywood, pull hard into the geabox, then back the other way. You'll easily get 1/4" clearance this way, at "$0" per inch.I have a slight and I mean slight rub between a header tube and the steering box. I hope a half inch move to the right,passenger side, will solve the problem. I will keep you posted.
I am going to give the plywood a try 2+2 but I have my doubts that in my situation. I don't think there is room existing to make the shift to create the bend to create the clearence necessary. But I plan to try next week and I will let you know. Thanks or your input
you generally want your pinion angle equal and opposite of the engine angle. this is moving the engine at an angle that's not typical. you could probably calculate it or just measure the angles after install. i've never run the numbers to see if it's in the noise or if i could be a potential issue.
here is one area to watch out for (especially if using the drop mounts).
There are certainly a lot of ways to skin the catI used a screw driver and a BFH and my headers moved. I've since pulled the motor and ground on the steering box.
