Let's see your 1st generation barracuda

I was going to do that but decided to keep the body as original as possible since it was my first car. If your going to ditch the stock fenderwells, then save your self the trouble and get a good set of Headman fenderwell headers, the fenderwell headers keep the engine cooler and with a 4spd, there isn't any room for header tubes around the clutch linkage. It's pretty tight with my sb scatter shield, I could just imagine how tight it will be with a bb bell housing. I also had to cut my clutch linkage down to fit and make a new bracket for the ball stud on the bell housing.

I pulled all the 4-speed stuff out of my 440, 4-speed, 71 Duster w/ Semi-chassis headers. On the drivers side 2 pipes dumped into the fendwell and on the passenger side only one pipe dumped into the fenderwell. My best friend welded for me back then; he modified the bellcrank and made a new bracket for the pivot on the scattershield. I still have those parts and will reuse them or make new ones to fit. I know it won't be easy, but I'm going to try.
