Thanks for posting the photos. Can't see them in the thumbnails, but they're fine when you expand them. I appreciate the help. Did you use stock type exhaust manifolds?

I can see the pics as well if I open the thumbnails.

Looks like you have the same amount of clearance issue with the low hanging oil pan that I have. Be careful if you’re much below stock ride height. I’ve rubbed mine twice and the pan has the love rub marks to prove it.

Hooker headers for G body. Thery are not Z bar friendly. I had to dogleg the bar enough to have fab up my own adjustment rod. A few aborted attempts before coming up with what I have. I'm not sure if it works yet. Seems to have full throw, but till it's running...

I think it has a two inch drop between the spindles and springs. Unfortunately I can't claim the build. I bought the car as a "finished" roller. I couldn't have afforded it with the running gear it had.

This swap has been done thousands of time, and each time was ever so slightly different than the last. Pick your route, plan on a few hiccups, and plan on reading so much your brain hurts from an overload of knowledge. Then there is still a chance you'll make your own route and have to figure out a particular problem yourself because either no one has done it before, or you can't find the one person that has and ask them.
