Been working on the header modification.

There was no room to go above. Not excited about the overall length and additional bends but for now its fine. I need to pinch some pennies and not buying $1500 headers is a good thing. i'll have my buddy tig them up but should have around $550 in them once done.

Speedtech lists them on their site for around $1400 + shipping. i think summit has them for $1200.

They are beautiful but not in the budget right now.

I haven't mocked up the dirty dingo A/C yet. It looks like it will but will verify hopefully Friday.

Great project. Just wondering about the subframe motor supports you have with your Speedtech subframe. I will share Some issues I ecountered a few months back when I decided to change my oil pan.

Speedtech supplies two types of motor supports. For SBC, the motor supports length is the same on both passenger and driver side. However, with LS engine, the motor support on the driver side is a bit taller than the passenger side to shift the motor by 3/4 inch to the passenger side to allow proper fitment of rack and pinion.

So check your engine supports, if they are equel in length, it means you have the wrong supports for your application.

You could also contact Blake at Speedtech, he is very helpful and can assist you in sorting out such issues.

I am also interested in how the Dirty Dingo low mount AC will fit.

Good luck

Thanks! I did verify I have the right mounts. The header fitment is on me. I decided to use a "non" verified header combination with this frame. I wanted a 1 7/8" primary tube but didn't want to shell out the money for the full length ones speed tech offers. These are the hooker 2474HKR i purchased from Amazon for under $400 (I also had a $100 gift card) so i took the gamble on these. I knew the driver side was a long shot but it looks like it will work out.

I'm hoping to have the A/C verified today. I want to finish the fabrication stuff and get the floor and firewall finished.

Thanks Nick
