Default need some help

so I got a set of bbk shorty headers and x pipe. I get the headers in and go to set the eng back down on the motor mounts and the dame things don't fit. the passenger side header sit's right on the mount and right up against the ac line. called bbk they have no clue. so I started digging around the web and found one guy that had this same issue and he got the Urethane Motor Mounts but he did not say if it helped. so this is what I am going to do
1. get the Urethane Motor Mounts
2. get the QA1 Tubular K-Member
and try this again

what do you guys think??? I wasted 15 HR fighting this

Don't waste your money, a "BFH" will fix it, I had the same problem. Some "finesse" on your part and they will fit just fine.

Then it's all you, just found it humorous that BBK had no clue. The same song and dance they fed me. I needed no where that much to clear the strut tower where mine were hitting. Only needed a 1/2"....
Hey, good luck with that

Nope, not many will, because shorty headers are useless in HP gains. Most of the gents here have done LT's, better HP
gains.
