My 2-cents;

Obvious problem is ground clearance, especially with a 'dropped' floor pan, but I think that could be overcome. Second and in my opinion the biggest problem is the headers... I think you could still use the CR's headers but they would have to be very carefully modified. Even with that, the "suggested" 4 inch ground clearance would be cut to probably around 2 inches. ???

I'd like to try it once.......but no guarantees. Bending and fabricating the exhaust is the easy part! Making it legal with the exhaust pipes going over the rear axle would be a great challange for the best 'bender'!

BUT, if you could find a set of stock exhaust manifolds that would work in the extreme confines of the frame to motor area I think it could be done quite easily. I once gave consideration to using Explorer manifolds- they hug the block and transistion quickly to the exhaust pipes, but the owner of said car changed his mind and went with sidepipes.

No change needed!

Well, no one seems to be saying it can't be done, so I'm going to plan for it. I have an older kit (slats) which I don't believe has the lowered floor, and I'm also going to be using a 347 instead of the usual 351, so I think I'll gain a little room around the headers (not as wide).

Thanks again for the feedback.
