Hi Guys,
I pulled the old 350 from my 1972 Cutlass S to make way for the 455. I have tube headers I am going to use, and I have learned from this site that it is necessary to move the brake line that is attached to the frame on the driver's side to make room for the headers. My question: How have you guys done this? Can I simply make a bracket to move it to the top of the frame as opposed to the side?
Thanks ahead of time.

If you are using an automatic, you can simply bolt the proportioning valve to the top of the frame rail using the holes intended for the clutch Z-bar bracket. I've been able to move the proportioning valve to this location with the lines still attached and not had to disconnect anything.
