BBC frame mount measurements (header clearance)
I have hit a small snag, I bought a set of Lemons (Dan Lemons) headers from my 502BBC in my stock subframe 68 Camaro. Everything fit perfect except the third tube back on the passenger side, the tube comes over/on top of the passenger side of the frame and has maybe about a 1/16" of clearance. I called Dan and he said I should about 1/2" of clearance. Dimpling these headers is not an option, he said he would redo the tube if it comes down to it. We decided that it could be my frame mounts. My frame and motor mounts are from Rick's and the frame mounts measure from the frame to the center of the top bolt hole 2 1/4" on the D.S. and 1 3/4" on the P.S. He said the mounts that he used were factory original and they measured 1 3/4" on the D.S. and 1 3/8" on the P.S. If anybody has any BBC frame mounts that you could measure that would be great. Here are some pics showing where I measure to get my measurements, again from the frame to the center of the top hole on the frame mount is wher I measured. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
