I promise I will send lots of pictures covering my resto/mod of a 78 Caprice Classic. I have learned enough just buying parts to become a b-body mechanic! I have the rear-end and front-end suspension complete with all new tubular parts and coil-overs all around.
When my build team mounted the LS3/480 engine and transmission (I wasn't present unfortunately), they found that the manifold on the passenger side hits the frame at the rare of the Lower A-Arm. I don't have a photo that includes the engine, but I am supplying one that identifies where the rub occurs.

" />
My builder says the solution is either a replacement right hand manifold or a set of short headers.
Any ideas? Has anyone loaded an LS3/430 or 480 into a Caprice and run into the same issue?
Thanks in advance for input
