Re: 70 gmc
They look incredible but the driver side looks like you will have some spark plug access problems. Im hating my headers ATM. Cant tighten the plugs much more them hand tight.

It looks to me like you're going to have to check piston to head clearance! It looks like it is sticking out of the friggin block.
