Header fitment rant, Doug's

Mine would have fit fine; but
When I installed the Moog Problem solver offset UCA bushings, I got greedy for caster... which got me into bumpsteer because it rotated the centerlink down, which put the pitman arm stud nut into one of the tubes. I cut the nut and the stud as far as I could without loosing the cotterpin hole. But I still needed a bit more clearance, no biggie.
Also, I installed the 1.03 T-bars, and in certain situations, one of the tubes on the driver's side would rattle on it; no biggie to adjust.
It's just time. If you love this kind of adventure, your time means nothing. I have, for sure, hundreds and hundreds of hours in my project........ and it's still not finished.
But I understand that only the first time is an adventure. The more times I do a thing, the less I am interested in do-overs.
But I had, at the start of the project, consigned myself to pulling the engine every winter for inspection and freshening. Into it it's place I slid a smogger-teen, to get me thru the winter. (I mean the car was my DD,4-seasons, cuz I couldn't afford a winter beater, and I had waaaay too much time and money invested in this car to not drive it 4 seasons). On this teener, I experimented with different gears and transmissions, for the upcoming summer.
Back to the 360, the first three times I tore it down, I found something developing inside it that could have destroyed it, so IMO, I was doing the right thing. Since I was broke, and engines are expensive, gaskets were cheap, and time was free.
It went like this for five or six winters, until my son made me an offer on the smogger-teen, and the automatic behind it, and the rear end, that I couldn't refuse. So around 2005 or so was the last time it came apart. Thankfully things were now, for two winters in a row, hanging tuff inside the 360, so no more tear-downs were scheduled.
Of course, every time I tore it down, I had to modify something, right? Lol.

So adjusting the TTIs was no biggie.....
