Thanks for the welcome, truly. The headers and exhaust system shown together in the bottom-up shot are prototype parts that were built at the end of last year, but the engine brackets, crossmember and the stainless headers shown in the under-hood shots are all off the shelf production parts. Everything is now available, so I will get around to taking some new photos of the exhaust in the near future. As long as you use the Hooker engine brackets and crossmember to mount your powertrain, there is nowhere that the clearance becomes tight with the headers. This is speaking only in terms of 2WD applications, since these parts are not 4WD compatible. There was no attempt made to make these headers compatible for use with a Z-bar/mechanical linkage set-up, so it's doubtful that by luck they would be. The truck shown belongs to an engineering lab tech who works for Holley and there are four others of us who work on the Hooker development team who own squarebodies also.
