Thanks man! They are block huggers. I'm glad I didn't blast and paint 'em, because they only have 2.5" between the collector flange and the crossmember. If the motor were mounted in the rear mount location they would work. easy access to all plugs, and starter. I'm getting a set that will fit my application. Here's a pic of the clearance issue.

Thanks for the pic, I kinda thought there might not be enough clearance, glad I did not blast mine either! Looking sweet!!
