Bummer!

I had the same issu..
 

I have the same issu... losen the engine mount and the engine/mount on the frame and move them over to passanger side just a little bit.. and u hav your clearens... and check you trans/mount if that is in corrrct possition...

Hope it will help..

So you mean swing the trans towards the passenger side, and if so would that have a reprocautions ( tension on motor mounts or vibration )
Motor sits a dead center of sub now , so ill give that a try
Thanks

I had to lose all my bolts and move the hole engine over a bitt over to the passanger side yes.. and i also losen the trans and pull that a bit,,the headers is near,, but i hop it will be ok...

No go for me , I have to move my trans 1" to almost clear headers, that is more than what I'm Confortable with. So my choices are
1. Find other mounts that move engine back about .5"
2. Cut up headers to fit
3. Cut subframe
4. Fab new headers

What ever its going to be. its sure going to be fun.
I'm hoping to possibly combine some mounts to move engine back a bit .5" at most and play with trans center offset.
Another idea would be to see if DSE would ship me driver side header without welds. that would could be my best bet.

Ohhh.. talk to them they sent me some tubes, and i have to cut and weld..
i didnt move my trans en engine much.. maybe few mm or so..
DSE should look into this.. if there is a better way to do it..
good luck:lateral:

Has anyboby tried the Kooks headers with the DSE sub with 1/2 height body mounts? I've been talking with them and they suppose to be checking on fitment for this setup. They say they will work with the stock mounts but not sure about the 1/2 height mounts.

get some dirty dingo fully adjustable mounts and see if you get some of the clearance you need

and engine is trans is mocked up on my buddies 69 dse subframe

its close so we are going to have to tilt the engine up some or mod the crossmember. chances are the crossmember will get flattened out.

Overall the SW header clearance is amazing. they fit perfect in the subframe.

i would love to trade you headers :)
