finished up a motor for a friend and had some time to mock these up on a 455. any front plate will require some creative thinking to get where you need to be. anything else should be fine. on the passenger side of a 455, under the #2 cylinder, there is a little casting kick out. this will have to be ground down to get the headers to bolt flush. i thik it is something the factory used for moving the engines into positon on the assembly line. Non issue for a turbo build, but it is a statement as to how tight these hug the block. I will fit them up on my IA2 in the next week or so.
