gretchen/jason Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 So the steering shaft/ rod whatever the term on my 77 280z was a issue when i ordered a set of tight tuck headers on my first swap . I had to massage the header a bit to clear the rod and they were 1 5/8 tubes . Ive since then done a lot of mods to the engine and im going up to the 1 3/4 size tubes and im wondering if there is a way to move the rod like they do with hot rods from the 30's and such . I did a search but couldnt find what i wanted . I was using the MSA motor mounts but i know will be using the JTR mounts so maybe this isnt a issue im not sure as i havent stabed the engine in the car yet but im just asking from past issues ive dealt with .

mark Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Try the jtr mounts first. Are your headers block hugger type? I'll bet you it will all fit if your headers are block huggers type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretchen/jason Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yep ill be using block huggers again , the previous mounts from MSA required me to indent the header at the collector about 1/2 inch above the colector flange and i had to beat it in about 1/4 of a inch .
