as for the brackets at the end of the ZF supporting the muffler. I believe Brent stated they do have "flex" so in effect they are a "spring". with the mufflers unbolted, I expected the end of the plate could be pushed by hand (~100 lbf) at least a 1/4". the incorperation of the slight bend should also allow for for some vertical thermal growth.

assuming there is about 40" from the end of the block to the bracket, and assuming an extreme hot exhuast of 1000F, the flange will have to give about 0.006 X 40 X 1000 = 0.24"

That is EXACTLY the math I used :-)
