what can i do for front roll stop

[jrs187]

So I searched for my answer and didn't fond anything. I am building a drag car with a gt45 but myhhot side sits right over the roll stop. It makes it so I can't hook my drain tube up. I removed it so I could hook everything up. What should I do to keep it from rocking?

Is it hitting the actual bracket that bolts to the block? Many people can get away with grinding away at the bracket to gain clearance. It all depends on how close it is to fitting though.

What manifold are you using?

 

[T is for TURBO]

Time to maybe consider a tubular crossmember

Got any pictures of the clearance issue?

I got a xs power manifold so that's on there. I was going to build on but haven't decided how to go about it yet. I do not have pictures of it. My hot side is 1/4 inch above the roll stop and I would have to completely remove the passenger side of the bracket that mounts to the block.

You have two options:

1) Fabricate a new rolls stop and bracket to clear the turbo.
2) Or replace the manifold with another that locates the turbo in a better position.

And being that it's an XS Power manifold, I'd go for option #2.
