header & motor mount pics

[TraderJon]

Hopes this helps someone, I used the tubular motor mounts from Brothers & flotech headers for the bbc swap,they fit good,the driver side has about 1/4" clearance on front header tube & the pass side you could throw a full grown house cat thru & not touch a thing.
Flowtech#31530 ceramic coated,$229.99 from Autozone
Mounts,,anchor part#2267 from O'rielly's auto parts $8.00 each
tubular stands from Brothers #I forget?
They do hang down below the frame about an 1.5" though,may have to go to a taller tire on my truck,it's lowered 3&5 with 255/50/17 nitto's.

How hard were the tubular mounts to install?

[TraderJon]

Didnt have to drill any holes,bolted right in,I shoulda mentioned it's a 72 frame,with 67 sheetmetal, I think the original 67 frames are not carved out at the motor mount area,there straight & will interfere with the stand mounts.
Also learned the hard way,leave all the bolts loose till you get the trans mount pad stabbed in the hole,gives you some wiggle.

I appreciate you sharing this, I bought a set of flowtechs from summit for a 72 big block truck to go in my blazer. Now that you said they hang below the frame 1.5" I think I will need to get some diffrent ones.

[TraderJon]

Yeah they hang down a lil further than the sbc did,,I'll try to get a side view pic for you,may not be to accurate ,it's still up on jackstands.
Thanks

I have a 67 doing the BBC swap in. Which holes did you use to mount the towers in? Also what is the white stuff under the upper tower mount?

Thanks

[TraderJon]

I used the front v8 holes ,,I marked the old sbc stands before I pulled em with a paint stick for reference ,I get the crs stuff sometimes..

Heres a pic,It may even hang lower than 1.5",,I always go by the collector height,usually thats the first part to drag the dirt?
Now that i think about it,,thats a 3' collector.
