You have to modify the hanger a bit. Simple cut here and there. I tried to save as much of the hanger as I could. The dremel came in very handy. Then I used a hose clamp and tightened it down against the hanger as much as I could to secure it. Seems pretty solid.

This was a major hurdle in this build process. The buckets. STI on the left and EJ20k on the right. The fix to go shimless is to use ez30r exhaust buckets on the v4 head. You will need to sink the valve and a bit of machine work for the lobes on the cams to clear also.
