RE: Spitfire headers update

[Jim Rice <bf39y8j@xxxxxxxxx>]

The headers should work. They will be tight and would recommend 
installing them on the engine before it gets reinstalled. Chuck from the 
poly group site posted picks of his and you can see they are tight. He 
said his hits the steering box and no room to dent them and someone 
recommended putting  1/4 inch spacer on the motor mounts to give a 
little extra clearance.
