Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
i used an angle grinder to file down the ear of the tranny on the driverside. i had it so it would clear the flange but i couldnt get the bolts tight and said screw it... broke out the big grinder with a cut off wheel and took off about a half inch. you cant even tell and there wont be a hole when i get the dust cover on.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Josh, here's a pic of how much i had to cut off. i could have taken less off but it just about made it impossible to get to the collector bolts. i took the headers off again til tomorrow so i can get anti sieze. and heres the modded bolt also!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
i wanted to add these are the s & p headers. very very nice quality header. even came with arp fasteners! the flange is a good thickness so there shouldnt be any warps or leaks. and they fit like a glove. worth the extra money guys

Dennis there is a short harness that goes between the TAC and the pedal and the engine harness plugs into the TAC.
