Yeah, I've read that before somewhere too (maybe Norm's book).
I think this must not have been the bulkhead but in fact, the frame
rails where they are clearanced for the exhaust manifolds. Check
it out, when I first saw this area in my car years ago, I figured it must
have been due to previous crash damage!
Happy New Year everyone!
