What are the headers originally for, if they are touching the frame?
From me being slow to notice....the longer bracket holding alternator is hitting fender causing motor mounts not to line up so could I get taller mounts or I'm guessing it's be simpler to go back with old mount setup. From how it's looking I'm gonna have to change whole front assembly which I didn't want...but it looks as if old pump, pulley bracket set up is only way. Hope I can find it all, if not just look for 85 sierra bracket set up at part store ??






As far as headers I'm just gonna go back with stock, it fits right back in fine.
