This is the exact reason the optimized gutted exhaust manifolds I've got are still sitting in my garage. Plus the fact that I would have to take the vortech jackshaft out again to do it, which is a production all in itself. I think a subframe lowering is in order when I tackle it. Which also means I probably will wait until something more major needs dealing with first. My clutch has been slipping a bit lately

I hate working on these cars, but just remember the end result is worth it
