The motor is mounted!! Sefugi and I got the correct motor mount and they fit perfectly, the motor is sitting on all new energy suspension mounts,

steering shaft clearance problems, no problem hand me that big fu#$%ng hammer!!

By grasshoper at 2010-10-10

Edited October 11, 201014 yr by getbent

The steering shaft should work now, hated to beat up these headers , its just how it is.

By grasshoper at 2010-10-10

Had to trim back the slip sleeve on the shaft, and round down the inner shaft with a grinder

By grasshoper at 2010-10-10

Just for some info, these headers may not look like it in the photos, but they are massive, the instuctions for the headers from hooker matched exactly as to what we had to mod on the passenger side, but when it came to the drivers side and the steering shaft they gave no mention to any mods being needed. Guess they didn't see a need to steer the vehicle they built the headers for.

Props to getbent for the time spent making sure he had the clearance needed for the headers!

Everything is Lookin' SUPER clean guys!!! To bad you had to use the BFH on that poor header, but looks like you got er' dun.
