Engine alignment in the engine bay...

[roguegeek]

I installed the Extreme subframe in my 2nd gen also. I had already raised the tunnel so no issues there. The engine did sit a little higher in the car than I expected, but that didn't create any problems which you should face. I second the 1-2" from the firewall distance. I had some limitations to work with like an external dry sump unit that was very close to the inner tie rod stud. But it all fit.

Ok. 1-2" from the firewall. I called up Speedtech this morning and they gave me some starting points for everything. Said I may need to shift a little, but it would be close enough to start.

Do realize that the engine is shifted to the passenger side of the car about 3/8" or so. In my case, clearance on the passenger side header to the frame rails was tight since I had v-band clamps welded to the header collector. If you weld on the extensions which come with the headers you will be fine.

It was the Speedtech headers you were using?

The ones they sell which are made by Ultimate Headers. The mid-length version.
