On an 85 GT. How close to the K-Member are the stock headers supposed to be. On the passenger side mine looks like it is touching the K-member but on the drivers side I have about 1/4 inch of clearance. The header is not touching on the passengers side but it is so close you would barley be able to fit a matchbook cover through it. I inspected the engine mounts and they look good.

 

does the motor rock if you rev it. it should not be that close to the k member. check the mounts again or just get prothane motor mounts.

 

cause if ur motor rocks its slamming the header into the k-member and u dont want that.

 

May be sagging motor mounts....for an 85? You are probably due for some new ones...

 

Motor does not rock and motor mounts not spongy. They seem to be in really good shape. Maybe there is something I am missing on this. Here are some pictures.

the bushing is like poping out on the motor mount it seems. thats not good. i changed mine when i put the headers on and i dont have a problem

 

Yah mine are after market so theyre bigger and have lots of clearance.....

BTW-cantstopthefox... your Coupe is identical to mine, except for the 5.0badges and the HCI/fuel sys.
very nice
