Using the same motor mounts and headers, it seems that the drivers side header will not bolt up. The torsion bar seems to be really in the way. Anyone have knowledge on if the motor mount needs corrected or ??? What year or engine mount is needed? Thanks fellas Last edited by Racebuddy; 06/12/16 11:46 AM.

Resulted in keeping the header away from the head just slightly. It was really close to fitting, had I not mocked it up on the engine stand, I would have had a really tough time finding the interference. This was in an a-body. Indy heads on aluminum Ritter block.

If a beveled spacer would have fit it could have moved the header out a bit to clear the studs and maybe some of the other issues EDIT Or cut about 7/8 of the way through the tubes at the flange and bow them out and reweld them Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 06/13/16 06:17 PM.

They clear the block fine. The problem is at the torsion bar, this is where the tube hits tightly. The same motor mount on the R3 block has the drivers side tilted toward the right side and also makes the motor sit too high. It needs lowered and leveled. I am assuming a 318 mount will correct this. really not sure if i am already using a 318 mount
