Hooker headers fitment

Okay guys I know a few of you are using the hooker 6901 headers. Now I want to know how in the h... you got them to fit. The passengenger side is perfect. the Driverside I am struggling to see where there is clearance. LOL. I think I can make some clearance at the firewall and possibly the shock towers. But the power steering ram is impossible unless there is some sort of drop bracket at the frame. the other issue is how to continue to use the column shift. Help!! thanks

 

yes there is a drop bracket that you need to buy

and as for the colum shifter you either need to go to a floor shifter or a cable on the column.

 

Besides the floor shift and the drop down bracket, you need to lift the left side of the engine up about 4 inches. There has been someone on here that made the column shifter work. You might be able to find some info in the search feature.

 

bracket

Thanks that should do the trick for the steering. do you know how much it drops it down? I may just make one.

 

thanks Don, I assume you mean lifting motor just to get the header in on the leftside.

Any info on the cable conversion for the column shifter?? If I do switch to a floor shifter will I need to reinforce the floor? Any recommendations on a shifter? I have a B&M ratchet in another car and it takes a little force to move it, no binding just the action in general.

 

I have a B&M Megashifter in mine and it shifts pretty easy.

Thanks Bob, what is the part number at autozone? the link only drives to a look up but I am not seeing it in the listing. thanks

 

part number 10041FLT

 

excellent thank you.

 

next hurdle any issues with hooking up the exhaust pipes? the collectors dump 2 inches from the cross member.

 

Nah...The collectors will hang low enough for you to run 3" pipes if you want to.

 

okay when I have the tranny bolted in the motor must tip a fair amount back then. right now the crossmember welded to the body elipses the collector by 3/4". You wouldn't have any pictures to share?
