Nope.... those are on the bottom obviously.... A few on the top of the trans bell housing and corresponding holes are not on the block? I think I have 5 bolts installed plus dowel plugs
I had two bolts extra. Only one used spot on the bell housing though.
Here you can see the 'ear' cut off from driver's side trans and brake line that has only about an eighth of an inch clearance from the header. Going to have to wrap that line with something. Also got the trans dipstick and oil dipstick both of which needed a little persuasion to sit properly. It's always something. Also number 2 and 4 spark plug boots are touching headers which isn't going to work. All the rest are fine
I used DEI's cool tape for my brake line, as well as shifter cable where it comes close to the header. The tape is good for 400°F direct heat, and I think up to 2,000°F radiant.
Thanks! Will get some asap
Did you have the issues with plug boots and headers as well?
Most of the parts stores have the cool tape on the shelf in the "performance" aisle. I'm running Taylor wires and absolutely no fitment/clearance issues. They're close in a couple spots, but not close enough to warrant heat shields.
