Project "Redfire" 69 Camaro

With big block headers you need to use the correct offset big block frame stands that the factory used, or the headers have problems with the steering box. I believe the stands moved the engine to the passenger side and slightly forward.

Engine looks great!

Thanks, I did confirm I am using OER correct frame stands and cross member that move setup to passenger side, etc. (pass frame stand is 1 inch shorter, cross member has offset tab mount for trans, etc). My BBC is also standard height deck. I think the issue is Blackheart toutes this setup will work but all of their pictures are with the 1-7/8 primaries. These are 2 inch primaries but said to fit "out of the box" on 67-69 BBC Camaros (only) over at protouring dot com. I had heavy contact with PS box, medium contact with drop link on pass side, and light contact with mini-starter already clocked. I can't imagine they would ever fit with a stock starter. No idea why this setup would have so much contact on passenger side when made exactly for 67-69 Camaro BBC only. Part number for everyone is BH13182.

The Hooker super comps I had didn't fit on my big block 69 Camaro, ending up with Lemons. Larger tubes (2.125") and cleared everything easily, as well as better ground clearance.

Unfortunately they're probably a wait right now, and definitely more money.

I stayed with the 1 7/8" BH13181's and fit great
