He wants to keep the A/C, and like many of you I'm reluctant to cut the frame for clearance. I can easily reinforce anything I cut, but I'd rather make a change to the accesories, or the mounting therof. I know the BRP guys, and will be using their swap kit, and more than likely their headers (customer may run manifolds, not sure yet), so I'll be able to let you know if the stock A/C location will work.I'm planning to do a full build thread on it, with lots of pictures and a parts/cost list. Once I get started on it, you're welcome to come by and check it out.
That would be great. I am at the point of choosing mounts. Why are you using BPR mounts, seems expensive to me, when you can use adapter plates and just move the stock trans crossmember. I like there headers. I have not decided on the headers or stock manifolds yet. If you give me an address I would love to come by and see you work. Just PM me.
