How is the fitment of the DSE Subframe with a Gen1 SBC? Did you have steering shaft clearance issues with headers? Are you running a hydraulic clutch or did you opt for the Zbar on the DSE sub?

Fitment of the Small Block to the DSE frame is perfect. No issues what so ever. Same goes if you're running an LS platform. We have a 69' setup with a DSE frame and an LS7, everything fits perfect. I'm running "Dougs" headers and I had to dent one of my header tubes to make clearance for the steering shaft, which was no big deal. My clutch is manual so I'm running the Zbar setup off the frame. Works great. I've been running the front subframe for about 4 years now and have nothing but good things to say about it. The rear setup went together perfect, was easy to adjust and is driving great. Detroit Speed makes the best products on the market. Their stuff fits, its high quality, and it does what its advertised to do.

I love that hood, thinking of gettin one for my 67. Who is the manufacture? Was there any fitment issues or hard labor to get the fit nice??

Appreciate you answering everyone's question ... thanks for sharing

I'd like to change out the hood for an aluminum cowl hood... Just kindof over the stinger hood. Also I have a custom aluminum spoiler I'd like to get fit up and painted at the same time as the hood. After that, probably a year or two down the road, an LS motor will be in the works.

Sorry for the delayed response... I got the hood about 10 years ago from www.americanstreetrod.com or try www.americansportscar.com... They have 2 sites. I don't remember it being extremely hard to match up, however it was fit with the sheet metal when all the body work was done. A problem with fiberglass (that I was unaware of when buying) is that it moves or changes shape after a period of time. The hood does not fit correctly anymore and I would never run a fiberglass hood again, but that's my opinion. I would like to change to an aluminum hood in the future, which will just be a cowl hood.
