    The engine and tranny are in:woohoo1:
    We are making the headers now...we may go for a Test annd Tune next weekend.
    No, those ugly a$$ valve covers are not staying on the engine, just there to keep the crap out while the headers are being built.
    Runnin this rocket next weekend and Roundup after that...life just doesn't get any better at my age:clap:

    Watch that ground clamp it might just leave a little arc mark in that nice intake.

    I agree with Maverick1970 be careful with the clamp you might get a feedback mark. Now where are you with the car? Is that SWEEEEEEET beast running down the track yet?
    Come on Rick give us an update:dance:

    Terry the engine is in this car, the Courier is up for adoption now.... the white car pretty much remains as seen in the pic except it's been sanded and buffed out and we are puttin it back together. It will never see the track again after Roundup.
    The purple one will have to do as far as racing goes:p

    Headers are done on one side...they look pretty good ...no more than a 3" difference from shortest to longest.
