hedder help S.O.S.

I have searched this sight till i am bug eyed-and the net-I have a set of hedman hedders that i thought would fit-nope they don't-I read to notch the frame-so i did-now they sit on the lower crossmember under engine-don't think I should cut that up! It is a 75 chasis with the inline 300 4x4 with 4spd standard. Am I up the creek or is the a 4wd hedder that i am missing=my truck is now apart!
Thanks!

Pictures ? Maby a rose bud torch and a piece of pipe will set it right.

has anyone put headers on the 4wd truck-and are there any pics of how?-lift the motor wont help cuz it is already a tight fit between the cab and bellhousing-i might try to mod the crossmember today then reinforce it again.

I would send them back. If they need that much modification they must be the wrong ones for your truck.

well-after many hours the headers and offy intake are on-only problem now is to find a bolt that will fir in the front hole of the intake-the hole is fulsh with the surface of the intake to the bolt goes in on an angle-stupid thing! oh and the lower bolt is a read pain to get in also-without them it is a vaccum leak but it runs!!! also use a edelbrock 500cfm carb-
its getting there!
