Mission creep can suck, but better to have it right than not.
Might have to watch header fit, and hopefully more things weren't "rigged" to accommodate the leaning.


To John RR as well: The mount appear to be an original and in excellent condition (surprisingly). Maybe it was replaced when the car was restored 30 or so years ago shruggy

I did consider shimming the L side but there would still be a front to back angularity issue (yaw). In addition the poorly made L head pipe will the be too close to the torsion bar ( has already been clearanced once). There may be a few "other" issues that arise as well whistling
I am already BURIED in the car time wise and the owner is starting to squeal.
So, with all considered I think the kwik and dirty is to mod the BH mount and deal with it at a later time. No permanent change or damage done to the car and it can be easily rectified when he has more $$
I again sincerely appreciate the input and help, will keep all posted beer


Have you tried loosening the bolts from the engine brackets to the block on both sides and leveling it that way, tighten once level ?

running up my post count some more .
