Got new Langdon headers. Had a nice conversation with Tom. Fitted them on the engine stand with the Offenhauser two one barrel intake. Had to grind both a little bit . Sent the headers to the powder coaters and got them back today. Engine is now in the car but intake is not back yet from George Ashe. Had put all studs in the side of the block for a good water seal. Rear header would not go on. Backed out the rear-most studs and swiveled the header up on the long stud and it hits the fire wall. Needs to go up about 1/4 inch to get the two rear studs/bolts back in. I the car has been all painted and has been driven. The front clip is off again. I noted that the foremost body mount at the base of the firewall could be spaced up may a shy 1/4 inch as it looks lower than the driver's side. If I spaced it up it would throw off all the alignment of the whole front end. I think. The other obvious solution is to cave in the floorboard a tad with a port-a-power and hope I don't break the paint. Of course the paint scar would be hard to see way down there. Has anyone else had this problem or have a suggestion for this frustrated red neck? I'm computer challenged so I can't include photos until my wife returns in a couple of days. Thank you in advance and you can berate me if you must for trying to get too fancy.
