Cleveland, Windsor header questions

vristang · 02-03-2006, 03:07 AM

I can't help directly but can atleast give you a bump.

As far as shimming the body off the k-member, I wouldn't do it.
There are other ways to gain hood clearance. Custom weld some solid motor mounts to drop the motor about 3/4 inch. Cut the interfering bracing free from the underside of the hood. Machine down the upper intake manifold (I am assuming efi).

good luck
