Title: Moving lines
Post by: bcstingray on March 20, 2016, 04:08:39 pm

I installed my 350 in my build this weekend. i put the headers on to see if anything needed to moved or worldbe in the way. I found that there are some lines (gas and brake) hitting the header on the passenger side. They follow the frame, make a "U" around the motor mount, then back to the frame. I'm running Headman Headers.

Has anyone else ran into this problem, if so, what did you end up doing?

Gotta move them or you will vapor lock endlessly. Where you move them to is up to you. Just need a good few inches and maybe a piece of aluminum between them and the headers to act as a heat sink.
