: I have a 71 Grabber. It was a 6 cyl but someone put a 302 in it. I bought some headers from Summit. They fit perfectly in the car, but will not line up with the engine. It looks as though the engine is about two inches too far forward. My motor mounts are correct (I compared them with some new mount from a parts store). I was told by one person that my frame mounts could be wrong but another said the frame mounts for the 6 cyl and the v-8 are the same. Does anyone have any ideas? Any pics of a 302 with headers in the car? What is the correct distance from the firewall to the rear of the block or the rear of the heads?
