thanks. just came from working on it. i put the new cross member in. and got the headers in. did anyone else have to take a little off the lower A-arm bracket on the drivers side? i had to take a good 1/2 inch off to clear.

What brand of headers did you use?

I've never had to do that on any of my G-bodies, but I did have to trim the passenger side of a '72 Lemans I put a set of headers on at work...

I haven't had to do any clearancing with the Hooker 2451s I have. Through its range of motion the rear bushing side of the upper right a-arm has put a small dimple in the tube, but everything else clears.
