Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Great info on the headers. So they will fit into a stock frame with no modification? They look like they tuck up in they frame pretty well, how much do they show below the frame? Thanks!

And here I am proud of my junkyard build! Very nice work, that 468 sounds very nice! 6,000 right now! I think my plow rig needs one of those...

That is going to be one sweet truck! That 3rd brake light is awesome! Keep us updated.

Sure does, it's a Pete Jackson drive.

Yes, they do fit well without any mods. I'm using 68-71 big block towers. The tightest area is at the lower control arm on the driver side. Probably about 3/4" clearance since i added the Ridetech arms. Factory a-arms had plenty of clearance. Here's a few pics of both sides so you can get a visual on it.

Oh, they also stay tucked nicely inside the frame rails.

Thank you very much! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with those as well. That engine sounds great!
