Finally got the headers reworked to fit better, but still needs a lil more work on passenger side. But mockup is looking promising.

Well the customer has a sway bar kit but it's not a factory setup and you would have to have a lot of custom-made bracketry to make it work as I think it's GM based. Ask for torsion bars, the customer has decided to stick with the stock 6 cylinder bars for now maybe later as he if he decides he...

Lol, actually did see a 360 LA SBM in an Isuzu pickup. Chrysler just sucks with clearance on frt. Of engine to fan.
