BB Picture request
Could someone with a BBC take a picture for me please? Straight down above the mechanical fuel pump. Show as much of the a-arm bolt, exhaust manifold, and engine crossmember where the fuel pump tucks in tight as you can get in the pic.
TIA

I'll see what I can do. Is there a specific thing you're looking for - like space between components, or orientations?

Yes I would like to see the space between all those parts. I know they are very close, especially with headers. A modification to the a-arm may or may not be in the cards. I am just not sure which part is the bigger problem for space.

Yes it does.
The headers are much further away than I imagined.
So the a-arm edge is directly above the fuel pump?
Any idea how much vertical clearance there is right there?

You can see the pump body in the background here sort of to show the fore/aft relationship
This will give an idea of the vertical clearance

FYI If you're worried about header clearance, the drivers side at the steering box was the only problem I've had. Common problem that a bfh fixed. This would be a problem with ceramic coated headers.
