Speeching of burn outs a bad ass motor like that must be hard on the transfer case no,this might be a dumb question, but don't they have an adapter that moves the oil filter off the block?

breeh, I will try to look today and give you my thoughts on the stock clutch linkage. I know Mothertruckers would know as he has used these headers on a number of 4x4 trucks that he converted to BB.
I could probably give you a 4 wheel burnout on dirt, but I'm not crazy enough to do that on pavement. With my luck something would grenade and, yep, Casey, that would be hard on a transfer case. You can get an adapter to move the oil filter off the block.

Breeh - I didn't really pay too much attention to how the clutch linkage was since I'm going hydraulic, but the last tube sure looks like it would interfer with the linkage where it goes from the frame to the engine block. If the linkage were moved further towards the front of the truck it might work. Definitely take some fabricating.

Thanks Yukon, that is kind of what I was worried about. It for sure interferes with stock manifolds. I thought that was weird because my BB Camaro used to have a manual and I had factory manifolds. It turns out that the Camaro uses the rear pivot mount on the block and these trucks use the front. I think that what I will do is slide the motor forward a little bit and use the rear mount. That will get my motor away from the firewall as well.
