early exhaust

red cuda said

my bad, not steering arm, the steering sector, is what I meant. it clears the manifold, but its very close, maybe the Borgeson steering rod would help, im not sure. yours looks good. I should have looked for some bends like that, the guy that put my exhaust on had a heck of a time, but he got done.

If it clears on the driver's side, even by a little, it should be OK because if I remember correctly the motor rises on the driver's side when it's under torque. So if anything, when you accelerate you'll get more clearance not less. Also, if it's not touching, you can grind just a little to get 1/16" clearance and you should be good since the engine will never move toward the driver's side. But you do have to make sure you have good motor mounts because the mounts will let the motor sag and maybe hit the manifold somewhere.
WHERE ARE THE PICS?????????
