Rod & Custom MII Install

Very nice write up. You did a great job showing us how it is done on metal, and then how to show it in the tech pages. Thanks. Mark

What did you do for headers?

I realize there is more overall room for them, but the rack and pinion steering shaft generally rules out any early car headers, and I'm not aware of any being made specifically for early cars with the MII suspension? Were you able to adapt Fox body headers?

Thanks!

I used 1 3/4 swap headers from Ford Powertrain Applications. 351 Cleveland in a 65 Mustang. I had to modify tube #5 to go around steering knuckle.

Very cool install Rick, Looks great, and well pit together!

WE went with the Heidth's kit, and also pleased with the performance.

Can you take some up close shots where the frame was notched for spring clearance? That way both options can be shown. Very clean engine compartment by the way!

How much weight does the R&C suspension add to the car?

Rick,

Thanks for taking the time for the tech write up. How much clearance do you have between the headers and steering shaft?

Weight wasn't a concern, so I really did think to weigh the crossmember. but maybe added 20lbs. I have a windsor with cleveland heads, but I had to modify tube #5 to go around steering knuckle. I couldn't find any other headers for a clevor application. Shorty's or Tri-Y's would probably fit great if it were a regular small block.
