Header fitment rant, Doug's
Stay tuned, don't plan on beating the crap out of another header. Already have one of those.
I really don't want to say any more for the time being.
Letting the insults roll off my back.
No one insulted you. There are guys on here who've been doing this a long, long time. I've never seen an engine mount that thick on a passenger car. Ever.
You're beating the crap out of your headers. You're getting new headers and have the same issue.
It's time to step back, take a breath and consider you have other issues.
Again, I wouldn't use any other mount than the moroso solid mount. Ever. As I say that,I'm kicking myself right square in the arse. You see, I have a 73 A body, which means I have the crappy 73 K member with the crappy 73 style engine mount.
When I rebuilt the engine and the entire front end, I looked and looked and looked and looked and couldn't find a 67-72 K member within a 10 hour drive or I would have went and picked it up.
Any rubber/poly mount, any of them is a giant compromise. Get rid of them. The moroso mounts are cheap. The car will drive better with the floppy rubber/poly mounts. And your headers will probably fit.
I'll find a 67-72 K member one of these days. When I do, I'll snatch that up, order some moroso mounts and finally be happy.
So no one is insulting you. We are trying to help, and you are trying not to listen.
