Looks great. Will the crossover clear the 4T65E-HD Trans?

Very nice only thing I am wondering is if the exhaust pipes will interfere with the A/C lines as other headers I have used get in the way and force the lines to be bent harshly to clear or run way too close to the exhaust.
Also approx how long to make a set and would I be able to have customers by the headers directly from you and ship them to me or would you prefer dealing with me directly as I very often get requests on swaps for headers and the ability to run a cat with out losing any of the trunk.

i can't see any reason why it wouldn't.. I don't have a Auto trans for mock up so i can't say 100%..
on that note does anyone have a 65E trans case they would like to part with??

I really have no way to check fitment of a/c lines.. where is the clearance a problem? would you be able to get me picture? as far as time i can build them pretty quick once i have parts the biggest problem is at this time WCF is the only vendor with 3800 header flanges and it takes 2 weeks to get a set here from them.. i'm working on a local machine shop to cut flanges for me. so as of right now turn around is 2 to 2.5 weeks.. I think it may be easier to deal with you on the headers if that works for you..

Just above the flange where the stock Fiero exhaust would take over the A/C lines go past on the 85 to 88 Fieros to connect the compressor lines with the rest of the system. The A/C lines can pivot and turn some what but not enough on some cars to fully clear. Will see if I can dig up some photos to show better.
I know almost every set of WCF headers I ever installed did not fit properly or line up properly or cracked shortly after the engine warmed up fully so I refuse to use them any more. Dan

Second, not sure that the 4T65E transmission dipstick is going to clear the headers...
EDIT: This is probably a better picture. I can get you a measurement if you need one.

Yes I think you may be right.. I definitely would like measurements .. thanks for you input!
