    Honestly I haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet But the Purchase is coming soonI have a motor that I need to put in but I decided to change the cam plus a whole bunch of other tweaking which takes time because I am stupid… picky plus complete new front end ,Disk brake upgrade Let’s see all new brake Lines hardware all new bushings,Degrease sandblast paint all partsAnd my wife says when can we go for a ride. so there’s that.But I promise when I get there I’ll give you my best educated opinion. There’s a whole bunch of info on this forum about the header issue.

    Thanks, oh ya plenty of good stuff here. We went from inline 6 to a 302, getting built now.. Im shaving shock towers but read here and am finding out that it gets you no extra room for headers, just easier to change plugs.. gonna try n mess with it this weekend. The block in it is just for mock up, also have front end gutted like a fish....
