The muffler fits fine - although you should mount it on the 6 exhaust tubes and also put the heater on first because there won`t be enough room once you have the engine fixed - but as stated abv. the heat shield contacts a mount tube-see pic! My solution: I got a modified muffler from ULPower with the exhaust tube welded on a bit to left and forward, now all is good. See next pic. Maybe in the future a Lightning modified muffler will be available, or maybe they can weld one for you as they did for me, for a little extra fee. Another solution: ULPower offers a muffler without the final exhaust tube , so you can look for somebody who welds it on at the right spot. In all other regards the new 10" eng mount is a success, it clears all engine parts and I was able to accommodate all on the firewall and between FW and engine with no major hassle - except after I had closed all the holes in the FW and fixed all the wires and tubes and cables my hands looked as if I had strangled three cats!
