I got the rear suspension put back together. More pics of that later. The latest batch of pics are with the header. I'm using the aem/dc k-swap header. I'm using the Hasport EKK2 mount kit with the k20 in the top mounting hole. The header is a bit tight and has me a little worried about clearance issues as I don't have much space at all between the header and my shifter cables.
I'm seriously considering lowering the motor to the bottom holes on the mount kit but I've got to check ground clearance on the oil pan before I make that decision.
Notice the 3 bolts on the flange. Using this header eliminates your cat. This thing bolts directly up to your midpipe.
Header is very close to the subframe, but has adequate clearance.
This is what I'm worried about. Look at hose close my shift cables are.
Here is a bottom shot. If I dropped the motor down a notch on the mounts, it would give me almost another inch of clearance with the header, but then of course I lose an inch of ground clearance. I'm considering just running with things like they are since I plan on getting a custom header anyways.
A side shot. It tucks in nice and neat. Even clears the heatshield on the axle midshaft. I installed the header from underneath the car. It slid into place even easier than installing a header on a d/b-series.
