it's because the bellhousing of an AOD is bigger, you just need to notch it out

i wouldnt bother with headers on a AOD car, go with 4.10's or start saving for a t5 swap

unless he is just going for sound, or just spray it. that'll wake up that slug

Just a bit off topic, lets say one went with like, a PA Built C4, would you still have clearance issues ?

I remember reading that there is a big and small bellhousings for the c4 (for different flywheels depending on the year) and that the larger ones have header clearance issues. I have no clue though just thought I read it somewhere

yeah c4 has diff BH's

it's no big deal, if you get a lakewood scattershield... they are all the same and you have to notch them out

but depending which one he has... might need to grind a bit
