I think the steering clearance can be settled but the SBC hugger headers really make plug replacement tricky!

Glad to see you post Don. Like you I'm always watching for pics from Irelands Child! ALWAYS has great pics! I'm trying to figure out how to get the tailpipes over or under the rear axle and out the back. And like you my block hugger headers are a b_tch to get some of the header bolts tight but, the plugs aren't bad.
