Stoffer.
I have one in Nadine as you know. I had room for the original 427 cast iron shorty's so if your headers sweep back from the center of the motor you should be good to go.
The key is using the Trans-a-dapt crossmember which is right under the motor mounts. You can't use anything that goes straight down.
You coming back to Houston any time soon?
Spaghetti anyone?
U@ss
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just explaining why I'm right.
Pardon me. Does your deaug bite?

Come on! The front clip is sitting loose, so it shouldn't be hard to tell.
