Need a little help...

[englewoodcowboy]

I am looking for a photo of engine in frame , no body with shorty headers driver side that shows the shock tower etc. I am looking for a reference photo. I ran my fuel lines and later stumbled across someone's photo and think I may have to re-route them a little to provide adequate header clearence and now cannot find the photo I saw. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can see where I brought them up but if I need to move them, now is def, the time.

These are Bronco Hut Sanderson headers on a 351W. 302 would put the headers lower and inboard about 1".

You once again are the goto guy. Thank you very much Phil. Those are the exact headers and exhaust system I am going with. Did you mount your front brake flex line back in the original stock hole? That is where I mounted mine and by the looks of things if I swing my return line to the other side of the supply line it looks like it will clear just fine with those headers. I could move my mounting bracket back 6" and swing both lines up on top of the frame rail as well. Any thoughts?

Edit: After looking a little more I think I will move the mounting bracket back at least 6" and swing both on top of the frame just to be safely away from the heat source.

Front brake lines are all stock '76-'77 type hardware using stock holes. This proportioning valve mounts on top the frame rail.

not the greatest pic, but an example of lines run on top of frame rail. 351W, BC headers. i can get better pics if needed.

Heck cowboy. After all the work you obviously went through, to keep those lines so cleanly routed, I'd bend the header out of the way before I re-did those lines!!!;D

Thanks for the pics and ideas. When I routed them I turned them up where the clutch linkage cross bar cuts across and ties to the motor. They may be fine where they are and I will wait to see. Tomorrow I take my rhino to its new owner and Thurs. I get the machinist going on the motor. If anything, just red rill and tap the frame and bend them up a touch is not too big a deal. I am hoping to have the engine, trans, exhaust in and the tub set on the frame by the end of Feb... Still pushing for SC...
