So, TTi says my Hookers are made wrong, are they full of crap?

is that in an early A body ?? 63/64/65/66 ?? are those hooker 5208 ??? then that is normal for those headers in an early A..

why is it normal who knows,,what ever car they used fro mocking up there jig,or what evr motor mounts,,doesnt match any early A,,in the real world.

i instaled a pir of those back in the late 1980s, what we did was this cut a hald moon or half rounded cut out of that cross member,take enough out for clearance, then take a piece of flat stock and form or bend it to match the shape of the cut,hammer it in the area that you cut out and weld it in place,many guys have done the same thing,

it sure makes a nicer fit and less trouble then cutting the header up to reposition every thing,,and bending it down only makes it harder to get a pipe to fit with out hanging down and being visable
