daily driver... YOU DOG!!! (hee hee) (green with envy)

well, my problem is my side pipes and headers... I went back and forth with which side is correct ( can't understand why these aren't marked with port and starboard, 'right' and 'left' do not work with this kit) for engine mounts and headers with conversations with Don and DV, who are always so helpful and generous with their time. I ended up with a best fit scenario with the pipes and engine, albeit the pipes came up short, very similar to your website, but yet usable and straight with plenty of engine clearances... well I put the body on and all hell has broken loose for fit. I presently have my engine mounts as DV suggested, and mounted the 'other' way the Alternator could contact the upper control arm/mount (it doesn't actually hit it, but if the engine were to 'torque' at all... I hope you understand what I am getting at)

Anyway, I am just at a loss of figuring out this poor fit, as it does not make sense to me as I know this should not be brain surgery, which is why I am hoping to get the opportunity to investigate around someone's car to see where I should be heading.

who knew I would end up with the ONLY SB which won't fit in a Cobra

pics which could be helpful, or measurements
1) drivers side intake man. distance to firewall
2) pic of passenger side distance to pass. control arm
3) distance of header flange to frame cross member
4) measurement of RNP crossmember to bock

Jack21,
yes you are right, I can't help but think part of the problem is the manual of which you speak. I do appreciate what you are saying as nearly all my purchases thus far has been gleamed of off information I have obtained in this forum.

The issue I am trying to be careful of is that I do not want my comments to be used against the new owners of Classic Roadsters, as I know that MANY of the problems which I have and am facing is do to the fact I purchased my kit at the end of the last dictatorship.
