Header issues!
I have a '69 C/10 2WD with a 350 SBC and a muncie m22 rock crusher. I bought Hedman Headers and tried to trial fit them and they are hitting the rear of the bottom A-arms. Anyone know what is going on?? I was wondering if I need a spacer or thicker motor mount. Mine is about 1 3/4 to 2 inches thick? They are direct fit headers also. Thanks guys!

Re: Header issues!
Mine has about an 1/4" clearance.

Re: Header issues!
I have Heddman Hedders in my 1972 GMC with a small block, and I had to make room for mine too... couple whacks with a ball peen hammer did the trick. Don't go crazy and flatten the tube out. A lot of headers will have some sort of clearance issue here and there. Just nature of the beast.
