how much clearance is there between the number 8 primary and the firewall?

Thanks-

Eric

its fine.. it almost goes straight down first so theres not much to worry about.

The tightest area is around the heater/ac box. I removed my ac and installed an ac delete. I have plenty of clearance. In fact I can do a full sparkplug change in 30 minutes.

You can see the number 8 in this pic.

I have a set of headers from a G-body project that I am going to try to use on my camaro, I also have a set of 2210's, but they would be to big for a mostly stock 305, but the G-body headers have a smaller primary, and line up almost exactly with the 2210, except for the number 8 primary, which on the other header goes backand addititonal 1.5-2 inchesdo you guys think they would fit, or would that be too far back?

also, is the slip joint on number 8 nessacary for the header install?

slip joint was very necessary even for my gutted engine bay

was the engine still bolted in the car when you installed your headers?
