Trany up in place. Was expecting to have to modify the Trans crossmember, but nope, it all slipped into place easily.

Loads of room between the draglink and pan, no contact on turns and engine angle is 1.5 degrees. YES!

Will be interesting to see how the Doug's D452 headers fit, or don't fit. Have researched lots, only one fellow has told me that he's done it and they will fit. Going to find out soon!
Headers have been hanging on the wall for some time, coming down tomorrow. These came off of my buddies low 10 second B body Charger.

Hoping no, or little mods needed for these to fit. The right hemi might show up yet and these won't be needed.
