hmm ok, well i'll have to think about this then. I mean i have my old motor out so that could be used for out of the car mockup/fitting and i'm gonna switch the shorty headers if/when i have to do anything with the hedman long tubes. :banghead:

What about the tunnel mods? in one pic it looks like you had to grind/clearanc the beginning of the tunnel. W/o the engine do you think there is room to get in there for that?

I did the tunnel mods, which were pretty minor, while I had the motor and tranny in. It was easy to see where to trim. It was only a small cut and we bent the pinch weld down a bit. It was not a hard job, I just couldn't get to it more that 2 or 3 hours a day a couple days a week. I am very happy with the results. You will have to be handy with fabrication to make the cross member, though.

The only cut on the upper cross member.
