[QUOTE=A56;330313]Wes,
That car made my job hard for a lot of sets of headers LOL. I now have a 65' Belvedere that coincidently Jerry Bennett and George Widuch bought me in exhange for the headers on his 62' he races now. So I dont have to deal with the engine set back anymore. I dont know how guys got away with the engine setback, on my 64' Dodge the crossram is really close to the firewall with the stock K member. Did guys push, move or cut the firewall to hide that distance ?

It was not just about putting it back. The engine had to be dropped as well the further down the further back with out messing with the fire wall. And if you had a flat hood car it got the carbs further away from the hood. Net time at the track when there is max wedges around take a good look!!!!!
