Hey Jack21, I guess when I bought my car from Classic Roadsters back in 1990 they must have goofed. I told them that I fully intended to install a 351W from the outset and that the frame and motor mounts needed to be sent out for such an application. I currently have the regular Edelbrock Performer intake with an Edelbrock tri-oval aircleaner cut down as far as possible and I have only 3/4" of clearance between my air cleaner and hood. I guess 12 years later I have found out that the old Classic Roadsters screwed me on yet another detail.
I've met Ed at Classics by Elite several times, and the issue on the sidepipes has already been remedied. If you look on Ed's website, you'll see photo's of the mod's he performs on these sidepipes. The photo's you see are of MY old sidepipes being hacked up. I do LOVE the difference.
Thanks for your advice and input.

Jim Downard
