The tubes for the last 2 cylinder bend towards the center, giving you greater clearance around the steering box and the brake pedal and booster. One of the many reason I went with 2 1/2" ram horns instead
Well I hope to be able to find a way to make them work possibly by moving the engine slightly to the right of center. But.. if not I have a set of rams horns set aside for this possibility. I will know soon enough when the trans crossmember arrives. I just hate the thought of having these headers laying around because in my warped way of thinking extra parts means I need another project so I can use them...
