That's what I'm anticipating for my ERA but thought I would check. I mounted my undercar header/collectors on the motor and the fairly long section of 2-1/2 inch collector pipe that runs back under the floor boards appears to run parallel with the motor surfaces (top of valve covers, block surface, etc). So, I'm hoping the motor sits level and the pipes aren't angling down towards the floor. I have to weld some alignment tabs on the two piece header assemblies and I'm wondering if it might be safe to do so before mounting the motor in the chassis.
I'm kind of in between phases of my project and you can tell I have some idle time on my hands.
