Thanks 19Fordy,
I was actually looking at an older post you made about this. I was thinking about cutting or modding the centre of the centre brace. Maybe boxing the bracket or making the cross brace in a V to clear the crank pulley. I'd hate to cut my original bracket tho... this car is in great original-ish shape.
I have a set of Red's headers on my 59A in the sedan. I was wondering if I could just use the exact same setup. Seems like Red's headers are selling a different set for the later model on their website for the same application...
Another issue will be the chatter rods. I have a T170 transmission that is bolted in the back to a cross member. I was wondering if deleting the anti chatter rods would give me some problems?
Thanks.
