Which OMAX did you get? I may be getting a 55100 soon. Boss has one and we don't have any room here for it anymore so he wants to out it in my shop.

The coil over version will keep the Touring base and we will be fitting up some headers specific to the kit for the LS motors.

Nate. I believe I have the extreme with my 1955-59 kit. Does that mean I should have less issues with the exhaust on the ls motor?

Your version gives more clearance at the exhaust and steering shaft... exhaust will be a breeze.

If you can find some stock manifolds off the new body style camaro that might be the most cost effective way to go. If you would rather have a header, are you looking for a fancy set or an economical set?

Yea I think the 1955-59 kits are way more narrow then yours.

Nate around 500$ if possible. Just to confirm I'm talking about the 1955-59 front end.

As always thanks for the help!!

The crossmember on the 55-59 and 63-72 are close enough to be called the same dimension where the motor sets. Clearances will be the same.

I will do a little looking to see what I can find for headers in the $500 range.

You can buy a set of Stainless BBK's for under $500

No pics... as we haven't made a coil over version for the 55-59... yet.

[IronGorilla]

Haha... I like the "yet" response. Well I'm hopefully going to be meeting up with Delmo soon to talk about my options. I love your products so hopefully we can make the first 55-59 coil over drop members happen.

It will be a piece of cake... just haven't had anybody ask for one yet. I am sure that there will be plenty of interest after we build one! LOL

Can't go wrong with Del... he will treat you right.
