LS Swap headers

I wondered if I have the wrong DSE mount, so I checked the p/n with the packing slip and they match.

Not sure what the deal is I'll probably get a set of mid lengths and be done with it.

Make sure you are using correct frame stands. There a 2 for SBC. Once for 307 engines and another for 302/350. This would have an effect on clearance around steering components.

I'm using the DSE motor mounts set, which included the frame stands/adapter plates/Prothane motor mounts. The DSE motor mount is the one recommended by Dynatech. I have no idea whether they're for SBC or BBC. The tech I talked to back then did not know either. All he said was they build the frame stands in house.

My issue is not clearance around steering components. It's the ground clearance. The OP (67rally) has issue with steering box clearance and he's thinking about Dynatech headers, which he may run into the same issue I'm having.
