Thanks for the input there... Question though:

Is your experience with the header fouling the upper A-arm with your 140? I sorta figured there would be a bit more room to work with. I had a similar (exactly the same) issue with my 1800. I installed a used ipd header I had, and it was in conflict with the A-arm.

To be honest, I swore never again to bother with the headers for that reason. But here I go again. I think there is plenty of room though in the 140s.

My solution with the 1800 was to... A) grind the upper A-arm down a bit, and B) install a ipd 3rd motor mount which pushed the engine over another 1/8" or so.

That worked great, and has been holding strong for over 250k.

Either way, if it doesn't fit...I'll make it fit. THats why God ivented power tools.
