clearance problem with KB crossover pipe.

[crashing_sux]

I finally threw my engine back in my truck today and found the crossover pipe to my Kenny Belle headers is having clearance issues. It touches the frame on the passengers side and touches the steering arm (the one on the steering box) when I have the wheel turned sharply.

Is this normal for these headers. Anyone know of a workaround?

Re: clearance problem with KB crossover pipe.

Is your motor sitting lower than stock?

I have KB Headers and no crossover clearance probs. I also have the JS Manufacturing Poly motor mounts, so my engine sits a tad lower than stock too.

Re: clearance problem with KB crossover pipe.

I wondered if those mounts were shorter than stock, I no longer have the stock mounts to compare too.

I was considering using some sort of spacer to race the mounts up but I'm not sure if that would prevent the mounts from lining up properly. I'm using the poly mounts as well.
