If you are planning on using a "pusher" fan this isn't as critical; however, I perfer a "puller" fan for better cooling. When I first set the motor on the frame rails I tucked it up pretty tight to the firewall. This proved to be more problematic and therefore I decided to cut it loose and move it another 3/4" forward. (when you get to this point I will be happy to give you the measurements off of mine. As far as the headers, they are the full length C6's. Fit great, just make sure that you allow 30 - 60 days for delivery. They are not quick on getting them to ya, but worth the wait. I highly recommend using the MII setup from fatman's. Very easy to install and I know it works well with the BB.
I hope this helps a little. If you need anything additional please don't hesitate to ask. Bob

Thanks for the tips. I havent bought any pulleys and brackets so now I know to look for the short pump stuff. I havent seen the C6 headers before, the angle of the collector threw me off. I thought they were more perpindicular with the frame. I like the looks of them, they look top quality. I better get my order in. When I set the motor I will be bugging you.
Thanks again
