Not Ranked
Hi,
Sorry.... i went missing over the weekend.
Yes the engine is level and I have trimmed away what I believe is the right amount and seems to be a fat finger away from the fiberglass body edge. I ended up using a $10 harbor freight cut off air tool and removing the spark shield. The pipes are 3" and the cut off disk is 3" so I took an old exhaust pipe and hacked on it till the cut off wheel was somthing less that 3". Then.... took a quater inch off at a time working from inside the header. I'll post pic's next week of how I laid the pipes out while on the lift next week.
I had a local guy peek at this job and he was concerned of the body's lower fiberglass edge catching fire, so...I thought it a good point to question. If your headers clunk the body under acceleration.... you should probably fix it. I guess the correct timing will keep the pipes from becoming cherry hot ..? Good point not to mess with the timing too much. All else is going well...
Thanks for your input. mike
