Do you have any pics of this Engine in your pickup. I was considering a Clevor setup for my truck but if I cant run Headers then the Mustang will Have to get the clevor and the Cobra (clone) engine into the Truck (with a different cam of course)

Here's a link to the NEW Boss motor that was just re-introduced in 2007.. the one I think 4x2Mudder is using... hopefully he can confirm or deny.

im well aware of the NEW boss Block. but thats all it is is a Better than original BOSS block. When he said RARE I assumed he was running an Original boss Engine which would have the CLEAVLAND heads and not windsors. which would explain why hes having issues with headers. but if he is running aftermarket Windsor heads or original windsor heads then I dont see what the problem is with headers unless it's a motor mount issue. worn rubber alowing the engine to sit lower than it should be.. Again I wasnt trying to be a J/O about things just clarifying about the heads On the BOSS engines.

ok another quick question i ordered some flowtech long tube headers and i first pulled the header off on the drivers side because that is the one giving me trouble. well the header looks to be the same header. what should i look for that maybe the engineand tranny are leaning toward the back to give them this downward slant and be in the way if any one has any ideas it would help
