As soon as I get my manifolds back from getting the cracks welded I'll give the dremel idea a go. I saw a 1970 mustang on ebay that had the shock towers removed to allow all sorts of room in the engine bay. They had some kind of short springs and short shocks that did not need to stick up into the tower. I was wondering if that was some sort of conversion kit or a custom job. It sure would make this motor swap a lot easier. Thanks again
