Wow! You guys are great. Jim, thanks for posting a picture, as always it's worth a thousand words. OhBuoy, thanks for your description, I wondered what those red things were for!

OK, this might apply more to a new post of mounting the sidepipes, but I am going to append it here. My drivers side pipe went in without much of a problem. The passenger side pipe, when bolted up tight to the flange of the header, is about 2" low at the rear mount point. I have rechecked the engine for level at the top bellhousing bolts, and it is fairly dead on. Rechecked the frame on the stands to make sure that it is level (making sure that the engine is truly level) and it is. Any ideas?
If I pull up on the pipe, I can get it within 3/4" of the mount, but that is stressing the glange points, and popping the engine up. Tom |
Wow 2 inches sounds like alot. I redrilled the holes in the header flange so the sidepipe would line up with the mount. Mine were very close to being right on. I just redrilled so there would be no tension on the flanges. Jim
