Here is a frame rail mod I had to make to clear the stock exhaust manifold flange. TTI does NOT make a header for the 5.7 using the w5a580 as the pipes won't clear the starter....according to the design engineer at TTI!

Here is the piece we cut out to clear the trans hump fit back into the car. All we will have to do is cut some extentions to raise the hump appx 1"

Here are some more pics of the transmission mounting. We turned a piece of aluminum to replace the rubber dampner on the w5a580. This allows us to bolt on a "U" joint which further allows us to use a slip yoke. Custom drive shaft is in progress.

We cut holes in the cross member and "sleeved" them with 3" dia pipe for the exhaust to run through instead of having to wrap them under the frame. This will show up better in furure pics

Here are 2007 Charger R/T front disc brakes on a 70 B Body with an Alterktion.Bear hubs on the MustangII spindles. Had to turn a small spacer to fit on the hubs for the difference in the rotor dia and hub dia

The bracket from the Charger was cut down and turned on the lathe to fit around the flange on the 8 3/4 axle housing.
