There isn't enough room to squeeze it in above the X-pipe, plus the ID is barely big enough to clear the 4" driveshaft, there's no room for the fasteners.
Looks like I'll be ordering a Metco, UMI, BMR or building one from scratch. </div></div>
I ordered the Metco loop from JEGS yesterday and it arrived this afternoon. After a little finagling, I'm happy to report the operation was a success. The car now has a driveshaft safety loop, and I <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">barely</span></span></span> managed to snug it up to the NHRA minimum spec of 6" from the front U-joint. It's a good thing I ordered that Metco unit with that big-ass 6 1/2" hoop--at the tightest point, there's about 1/2" of clearance to the driveshaft.
Off to look for a helmet later this evening.
