Ace-Garageguy Posted Monday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:16 PM (edited) Mounts for the engine on the '66 Chevelle I'm finishing up were welded in about 1.5" too high AND too far forward, because the highly-paid chimp who built the custom frame didn't actually measure anything, made the front frame rails too close together, so had to wonkify the engine placement to make room for headers.

Tim W. SoCal Posted Monday at 09:55 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:55 PM (edited) headers that don't fit are DEFINITELY a problem to be dealt with, a while ago, the Hot Rod shop I worked at brought in a '69 Mustang Mach 1 with a Coyote engine conversion where the headers wouldn't fit, all the new motor mount welds looked like bird sh*t and the "fabricator" who did the conversion had no idea of the concepts of "center line" and "square", it cost the car's owner tens of THOUSANDS of dollars to clean up this mess.

LennyB Posted Monday at 10:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:36 PM Mess could have been a whole lot worse but it was hard to tell at first as there was tranny fluid all over the tunnel, the floor, my new sports jacket all because the idiot forgot the o-ring on the dipstick tube, he was the dipstick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
