I plan on putting some headers onto my car, but the problem is there is no room since a 351w is already jammed in there. I was wondering if anyone else has already cut into their strut tower walls? What were the dimensions you used? Another thing I was worried about is how much it affected the structural integrity of the front end since there isn't much going on there as is.
Do a search on "shock tower modifications". Here's one http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=47673&highlight=shock+tower+modifications.
even if u trim back the towers, it WILL NOT help with header fitment. it just helps with accessing the upper parts of the engine (ie. spark plugs, etc..) Crites Restoration headers are supposed to fit really well, im going to run the Hooker Super Comp 6208's myself (already bought them, just gotta finish the engine and drop it in, lol)
Called crites last month about 351 headers. They are not going to set the machine up for these till March. I put my name on the waiting list.
