Thread: block huggers

Tweet

Wanting to pick up a set of cheap huggers for the sbf just to have if the original shorties create to much problem at exhaust time . One issue i'm looking at is where the collector dumps its going to be real close to firewall even with insulation am i going to get hot feet. Will move engine forward since new serp belt done added lotsa clearence . Other may be the steering assembly (thanks to all who gave pics in my thread again) I picked up some doll rod got the borgeson universal for the rack to mock when engine gets moved forward. Have some pin and block universals to help in mock better then tape same size in dia. and length and where free . Order borgeson once im for sure what i will need.

The shorties i have are with the square port that matches heads . Some i see on line are oval port and dont match . Is this a real problem or will they be ok once mounted. Alot of pics dont allways show ports .

One more thing is i see some that the collector is very long and looks like pipe will be way below oil pan when installed losing criticle ground clearence . Some adds just place a reference pic and not actual and it gets confusing at times.

Pic i know you've seen em but i still like em . It still amazes me that i've had the oppurtunity to do this in my life .
