thats why i said the headers are the worst part. need to have them made or make them..
no problem getting a tire on.. i ran a cormal tire and it didn't even hit the header. i forget what size 14" it was though.. looked correct int he wheel well though.
a 440 hits nothing in that engine bay. atleast mine didn't. not sure what yours would have hit. like i said i even ran the stock blower motor and a 73 styler master cyl in the stock location..
the 440 was much easier to work on then the 360 i previoulsy had in the car. dist easy to get to, plugs easy to get to , starter easy to get to, there was nothing harder to work on with the 440 in my 64 valiant..
Old people are way ******* smarter than you give credit.
