9" Centered
Here is my 9" Strange rear finally centered. The driver control arm bracket was wrong and other brackets too. I had to go with "adjustable" control arms to get it right. It was shifting 2" to the passenger side, before we "fixed it".

Street Beasts Headers
Here is a set of headers I had to get from Street Beasts. It only took FIVE MONTHS to get them. I live in the sticks with no "custom header" manufacturers around. I bought and tried Factory Five headers earlier, but they won't work with this body.

Street Beasts Driver Sidepipe
Here is the Street Beasts sidepipe on the driver side. Another lesson learned: if you use a 351W for mock up and are installing a 302, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! The 302 is 2" narrower (at the head) and about 1" lower (at the head) than the 351. We had to "adjust" the motor mounts when I put the dummy 302 in.
