If the exhaust pipe lacks clearance under the crossmember, just cut it and
add an inch. The 403 has a nicer mount for the alternator, but
because the head is now higher, it will probably touch the engine lid. I
just ground a little clearance where it touched. IIRC, there's two
pieces to the PS pump that don't touch now, but a longer bolt and a tubing
spacer took care of that. The increased torque means the
tires spin more easily, but the will still last a long time.
