    I went with Schoenfeld headers, had to cut and piece in 3" on each tube. Just don't have time for custom right now. Later option this winter (I hate that word) Will follow up with header pic's and more car pic's. Resizing still killing me on the pic's!
    Extra 73.8 horsepower found with color matching engine hoist! Top secret HP tip!
