Re: Doug's Headers Too Close to Fender

I was running the 1 3/4" Doug's (D451). The 1 3/4 were no problem with clearance. This year I needed to step up to larger pipes. Given how easy these 2" units went in, I was surprised when this shock tower interference issue raised it's ugly head.

I think I'm going to loosen all the motor mount bolts then lift and reset the engine. Hope that solves it.

Yes. I did that to clear the taller hemi valve covers. But on my 65 bell II the headers are close to it and they are only 1 3/4 you have much larger headers.

Looks like you flatten the somewhat vertical face below where the shock comes through?

This is what I did but the engine is out.

No, well clear of that. It is hitting the shock tower, however. (Maybe I need to Hemify the shock tower? God, I hope not. $$$$)

Subject: Doug's Headers Too Close to Fender

Put a set of 2" Doug's Heads (D452) on my 440 powered '65 Belvedere yesterday. Incredibly easy install.

HOWEVER, after I was all done, I went to pull the light blanket I was using to protect the paint and the tube from #2 cylinder which runs above the rest of the tubes to the back was essentially resting on the passenger inner fenderwell. I did noticed the motor mount on that side was twisted to the driver's side. The CL of the crank was 5" above the K frame and the offset to the passenger side was 3", both of which nearly meets TTI's suggested distance but are a little tight but by only 1/4".

Anybody experience this or have any suggestions to correct this situation? Not looking to going to an engine plate.
