    Mocked up the headers on a spare block and heads. Lakewood scattershield, and a toploader trans. Useing a factory z-bar with a roller block engine mount adapter for the engine side of the z-bar. Though I would share some pics.

    Cool. Let us know what challenges you come across when you shoe-horn it into the chassis. :bouncy:

    more pics posted.
    The top of the engine side of the z-bar may not be a problem
    with my AFR heads slightly raised exhaust ports, stock location may need the top edge of the engine side ground down slightly. The frame side looks to just need a slight bending to clear the header tube.
    I have some pics of the headers installed in a maverick with stock shock towers.
