Trying to get my buddy to give them a shot, as he has dynatechs as well with poor ground clearance. Shimming the tailshaft would help a ton, but he's running a t56 and it hits the tunnel. In the short term we are going to cut the collectors off the dynatechs & run a slip fit collector with a thin style band clamp.
This the problem. On T56 tranny installs the tunnel needs to be cut to get proper driveline angle which also brings the header collectors level with the subframe and achieves more ground clearance. Also keeps the engine level in the engine bay and the rear of the engine parallel to the firewall and puts less stress on the motor mounts.

We have dynatechs on a 69 lowered 2" on Hotchkiss springs. Clearance work ok. I ran Hooker Supercomps on 2 cars and they tuck up nicely higher then the FBody oil pan.
