So where'd it go?? I'm guessing you're hiding the important items to give it a "stock" look...?? ;) I'm really digging those black steelies with the chrome dog dishes... that just sets the car off like none other!!! ;D

Looks really nice Nick. Hey what's your secret (or anybody elses) on reinstalling the headers without scratching them all up and scratching up the inner fenders. Cause man I hate putting the headers and starter and... and .... and...back on a big block! Oh ya that's right I luv to take em apart don't always enjoy putting back together.  ;)

Thanks So much everyone for the compliments!
The headers I usually lay towels on the inner fenders and tie the header up with like a bungee cord. set the motor in, bolt the passenger side header up, leave the driver side loose and fish the stater in. Make sure you take the stud out of the bellhousing for the starter,makes it easier ( give you more room to work with) then bolt up the stater and connect your wires ( still while the ehader is loose) so you have a little more room to play with.I know how you feel about big blocks with headers and trying to get the starter in etc. I have one of the worst combos .
Hooker super comp 1 7/8ths with edelbrock heads. its truely a nightmare and need very skinny hands/arms and custom made sockets to tighten plugs etc. I have said many pottie mouth words putting my motor back in this week but all in all it was worth it! Look for a new thead coming up soon with my dads 73 340/4spd challenger before resto pics! See Yah ! Nick
