RE: Tight fitting 428

I once had that problem fitting hooker headers on my brothers 69 Firebird (we built up a Pontiac 428 to replace the big block 350 in it....damn fine engine all you FE fans,...er... the heads arnt' the best design I will admit). Anyway, we decided to shim one of the enigne mounts between the frame and the mount with a piece of 1/4" plate. Fixed the problem. In fact, we drilled a hole in the plate, adn then hacksawed out a piece so that the plate could be slipped in without removing the bolt...just jacked the engine up a tad. At the time, we thought that maybe the mount rubber had shrunk over time, but maybe it is just the way that brand of headers fit in some applications.

This thread, so far...
