Sorry if my earlier post was confusing in that regard.


Yes, unless someone has limited hood clearance, you open a whole can of worms by using the k frame spacers.
It made the early cars without the modified steering linkage all wonky running down the track.




Spacers provide header clearance to the steering linkage. Engine sits in the stock big block location. My car is a factory big block, that’s how I positioned the motor plate, hemi sits exactly where the factory 383 did. Without spacers the headers crash into the steering linkage.
That’s true with the tti and hooker’s
