anyone else have a interferance problem with the rear header pipes in the area of the adjustable supports from the rear cage plates too the rear trans mount-dam this a-1 header is big--ideas how or what too change??

Hey Jim, There are only Three people with that type of cage you ,me and Jim. If it's touching on the A1 pipes you are going to have to get in there and maybe move the locating holes for those adjustable bars.
I'm guessing with your post that the motor is in and ready to run????? Fill us in.

well almost ready too run geoff,well i guess i'm in good safe company with the cage ,i had a dumby motor in too test cooling tin fit, that's when i noticed no room for the pipes,i will check for a new position very soon,i want those bars as low and as far back on the trans rear frame mount as possible,may need too make new ones up. i guess i better wait till the motors in-i'll let you know what happens ,i will take a few pict for future referance
the motor will run on the test stand tommorow-it looks great -hope she runs as good as it looks , its that stealth crinkly black /chrome effect-have fuel/4 jugs oil/3 oil filters / gm's e.o.s/can't wait -unfortantly i've been low on time as soon as a book holidays -work comes up with new things for me too do-
i would like too take the balance of next week off .so i can put the motor into the car -and hook up gages & wiring-but will see what happens-anyone have some spare time ?
if i could figure out how too post some pictures on the sight i would-but i'm a computur losser--
