Dean,
I have a 49 burb that has a SB400 engine in it. It's got a Jim Meyers
Racing cross member that uses a Camaro spindle instead of a Mustang II, but
looks pretty much the same as a TCI. I was going to use the Ram Horns but they
dumped right into the frame, so I used the block hugers .Got em cheap at
Summit.To make sure I had clearance for the steering shaft, I offset the
engine to the passenger side by one inch. I haven't finished it yet, so I
can't tell you if that was a good idea or not.

[oletrucks] Best headers
I'm working on a '52 AD panel that the P/O started
to install a 350 S/B crate
motor. It has a Mustang ll front suspension made by
TotalCostInvolved. It
appears that the steering shaft must run down just
inside the frame next to
the headers. I'm trying to figure out if I can use
"block hugger" headers or
if I should use the "rams horn" cast iron headers.
I'd be interested in pics
of a completed project if possible. Thanks guys!!!
