Need to get headers for this 71 Monte Carlo I’m swapping!! I took a gamble with some s10 Shortys and the pass. Side hits the heater/a.c. box Also have to get a smaller pulley for the power steering pump! It hits the gearbox.

What motor mount and frame mounts are you using? Happen to have part numbers on the mounts?

@MrGriffin23

Жыл бұрын

They are the stock frame towers. There are two different kind that came on the Chevelle (short and wide & the other style is tall and skinny). One pertains to a big block set up and the other a small block. You have find out which ones you have and order accordingly. I used energy suspension engine mounts for a Chevelle but again you need to know which ones you have on the frame before ordering. Hope that helps.

Man I trying to do same thing but now I’m stuck on how to wire up a 2wd 4l80 to a 6.0 in a 71 chevelle can you point me in the right direction please🙏🏽 and the car is coming along real nice 👍🏽 ✊🏽✊🏽🔥

Noticed that Speed engineering website says they used 1” offset back motor mounts. What setting do you have yours at? I’m running stock location Holley mounts for 69 and was wondering if these headers would work?…

It's a company called remflex sells header gaskets they would've remedied your solution they would've spaced out your headers so it wouldn't hit the boss on the side of the block and they seals up nicely

How low do they hang, hard to see in the video if they are dragging or not? Normally LT headers are always 1-2" too low.

Possibly a big turbo. I wanted to do forged internals but just wasn't in the budget at that time. I watch all your videos on the chevelle to make sure I'm going in the right direction. Keep up the great work. You can sell that box caprice in texas for alot of cash when you ready to get away from it.
