Probably not. The brace is a pretty tight fit with the stock engine and exhaust. Ask me how I know.

I know for a fact it does not fit I have tried my self and it would not cear the header and you would have to grind a little bit off the brace to make it clear the tranz case. I was disappointed also lol but thats what we get for running honda's big block

We need a solution to this. My exhaust header scrapes and makes a ting sounds over speed bumps every time.
