The comment you made about moving the engine forward after using the DD mounts to clear the coils is what I am talking about.
I didn't want to order one over the other without hearing from someone that used either one of them.
Thanks

Hello Scott
The problem I noticed is the headers that are offered are built for 2 wheel drive 67 to 72 truck. The cross member in 2 wheel drive holds the engine up about 1.5" higher than the LS engine mounts that are being offered for 4X4 frames. I do have a set of block huger headers from Headman that do fit. I'm going to see what I can do the modify the Doug Thorley headers. I know the right side hits the frame. left I think will fit with the NV4500 trans do to the slave cylinder being on the right under the starter motor.
