raised intake ports are not a big deal. raised exhaust is the issue.

Very true, raised exhaust is the problem. I know I can go and buy another set of headers, it is not what I want at this time.
I still have inner fenders and did not want to remove them.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. The information you have provided has been very helpful.

Thought I would add a few photos here of the car, engine, and engine in the car.

My friend owns a parts store, he is also one of my sponsors, so he wanted to display the engine in the shop before it went in the car.
The photo of the engine compartment is a bit older. There have been changes since that photo. MSD is now inside the car,and some other changes. Need to get an updated photo.
