Re: Cast header question
"Question, is that slot going to give you enough clearance for engine movement when it's running?"
"my question as well. a bigger slot is easier now than later. good thinking outside the box."
That is a good question and a concern I posed earlier in this thread. The height of the slot is 1-3/16" and the flange thickness is 5/8" which I've ground down to 1/2" where the flange protrudes into the frame. The flange is centered in the slot. Is the slot big enough? I don't know because I don't know how much to expect the engine to move when running. How much clearance to allow would be good to know if someone has that info. Engine mounts have a hard, puck shaped, rubber cushion.
