  • this is why I hate selling hot rod parts.



    Sold this dude a set off bbk 351w swap headers that wont fit my engine bay in my 69.

    He put it in, and sends me this pic telling me I lied to him and sold him 302 headers.

      Looks to be around 2 inches to high.

      Unless he has some tall heads, or .75 raised port. I would agree.

          Makes sense. I have some bbk 302 headers I can measure if it helps at all.

            Those had the 2.5" ball flange cut off and 3" collectors welded on, and came with the 3" h-pipe. He needs a combination of a set of drop mounts for the engine or lose that tall ass trans mount. It's only .5" off

                I told him to put a standard height trans mount in, and it would lower the angle of the engine/trans and give him the clearance he needed.

                This is a stock size trans mount for a c4 to compare

                        Yep I didn't notice that mount. I bet it throws everything off.
