    Did they just bolt in or was there any helping them in? I'm just curious about them for later maverick endeavors.

    The way the car sets now with a mustang II front suspension and a 5-t trans there is no clearance problems at all. But we also had these headers when the car was stock, c4 trans and colum shift..............that's right colum shift.

    To make them fit the stock car I had to trim some flashing on the bell housing and make a small dent just after the collector for the pitman arm to clear at full left lock. The stock auto colum shift linkage cleared the header.

    Ken Merring has these headers also and he cut and moved the collector just a bit to clear the same parts, same result different path. :D
