Tom, you have come a long way.  Looking GREAT.    :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :bananasmi :ylsuper: :cheers: :droolingbounce: :worshippy :woohoo: :jumping: :drunk: :drool:


Thanks, You have given me plenty of motivation!

Hey Tom, how'd the Headers fit? they look good!!

I asked this same question in my other thread, but did you have to run the drag link through the headers??


No, they don't go through the drag link.  They fit nice, I didn't have to tilt the motor or anything to get them in, just on jackstands.  Didn't even take out the plugs.LOL

Tom

Look for the headers, good ground clearance here! :clapping:

 :wow: Holy cow Tom.........       Your going to be back on the road in no time. :2thumbs:


I bet you are glad you went with the new light wieght starter, otherwise you would of needed the engine crane again just to hold that old starter in place. :smilielol:

Looking fantastic and their is heaps of room under their with a lot of ground clearance for the pipes :clapping:

But i agree with Alan, you need another big set of stands like you have on the front down the back of the car instead of the toothpicks you got holding it up buddy. :swaying:  But it is awesome :woo:

That car is looking good  :cooldancing:

What are you running for mufflers?

Are you just putting them in the back by the gas tank?

Yeah, the Summit Exhaust puts the muffs by the gas tank.  Not the best but it was under 200 bucks for it.LOL  I might cut some better muffs in later and swap these for straight pipes later if I want to change 'em out.  They look like plain turbo mufflers.  I made a deal with the wife to get rid of the side pipes cause they were loud...  These might be pretty loud tto since the muffs aren't too big. :burnout:
