If I moved the engine all the way back to the original position it would have to sit really high over the rack,

I did finally work something out I moved the engine up about 1.5 inches and about 2.5 inches forward. It is still very thight to the rack about 1/8 clearance. But it is know over the rack instead of behind it. The shifter is still in a usable position and I can actually get a stock f-body manifold to fit on the passenger side so building a regular header over there shouldn’t be to much of a problem. I should be able to make some thing work on the driver’s side it won’t be easy but will be doable. I just ordered some collectors and a few more bends. Next week is spring brake so I should have the beginnings of an exhaust system next week.
