I did have to dimple the tube next to the power steering pump though. I have a 440 in an E-Body... 70 Challenger, 440, 4-speed, pLuM cRaZy 71 VW Super Beetle Convertible, Lemon Yellow A couple of Jeeps…

They fit like a glove, no dings required and it's an 18 spline 4 speed with an 11" clutch. I did the same, except I put in my Doug's 2"ers in the spring of 2011. One tube bumped the passenger side shock tower and has by now self-clearanced, no other issues with the same setup as Mick. I used a fiber gasket, cranked it tight one time and have never had to re-tighten or have to try and seal them. Are you hinting that you'll be driving the '71 soon? dstryr, since 1986.

Yep, finally got the bug to get the 'ol horse back on the road. Putting it back together this fall/winter with the intentions of enjoying it in 2014. Heck!!! It's been apart since 2004!!!
