While the motor was out we went ahead and did a btr cam kit, had a set of 243s cleaned up and did the che rocker trunion upgrade. Installed a monster clutch and installed the motor and trans, hopefully for the last time.
Went to install the exhaust but I wasn't happy with the header fit up or the crossmember clearance. So I reworked the exhaust ahead of the x pipe also installed some flex joints.
