Based on the thread a little background might help. First the ProPart Headers were designed in the '80s and like CPPA these headers were designed based on the old Direct Connection motor mount platform, at the time really the only big block set-up out there. As you recall these mounts while a great design caused the motor to sit about .75" too tall. Remember all the complaints about the fenderwells and 727 trans hitting the floorboards? - thats what that was all about.



I find this quote to be quite interesting as I have been building DC k-members for well over twenty years and have seen quite a few originals in use. We have had no trans tunnel interference with the 727. The motor does not, in my opinion, appear to be sitting too high in any car that I have built. Nothing against Schumacher, but I'll keep building DC k-members (as long as I can still find core k-members) and building them without all these fitment issues that seem to crop up with other systems...
