Hi there. I´m helping a friend to build his -67 Stang. Built a stroker FE engine for him. He liked the idea of having a bit more ground clearance, but still headers, so we choosed JBA headers. They advertise that they will fit manual (original steering box) steering or rack and pinion. The engine is now on its place, and i´m getting pretty desperate about pitman arm clearance. If I turn steering wheel right from middle, it goes all the way to its end. But on left steering wheel turns max quarter of turn before pitman arm hits the cylinders 5/6 primary tube. So far I have not dent the tube or grind anything out of the pitman arm. Has anyone used JBA 6655 headers in -67 Stang? Is it possible to use these headers with original steering box? These looks very close to FPA headers, and they are saying that these will only fit with aftermarket rack and pinion. Thanks in advance.
I have used Hookers on my own car for years. They hang pretty low, but they don´t interfere with pitman arm at all.
