Hooker Competition Headers
I pulled the engine because I had a leak at the rear seal, then I discovered the mounts were completly sheared so I installed new rubber mounts. The car had Hooker Super Comps when I both it 3 years ago but the previous owner bottomed out one of the tubes on the drivers side so I decided to replace them when I pulled the motor. So I'm not going in with anything that wasn't in there before. However, you make a good point on the mounts. The mount on the passenger side isn't sitting on the "K" member. It's up about 1/4" because the header is sitting on the torsion bar and it's hitting the other suspension pieces as shown in the photo.
The car wasn't hit. It was a survivor California car that was purchased by a Mopar mechanic who put the 360 in it with a 4 speed and 8 3/4 rear end.
I think the engine needs to be lifted and moved but I'm beginning to second guess that.
I have a couple of bolts installed in each header, but I didn't put them all in yet. Do I have the engine mounts installed on the block in the right location or should the mounts be installed forward of the engine block flange? Could that be my issue?
