Drive shaft looks right at home too. Glad it fit, cause I know how mad you get about eBay deal fail... (teasing Bro!)

That Derale looks like a nice piece for 1/3 of the price of my Mocal. (Thanks a lot Gaetano!)

Yeah I lucked out on the shaft. But I love rollin the dice on ebay parts. It's just a fun part of life for me. Sometimes it works and others it don't. But I think I've "won" more than I've "lost" so far.

Yeah we just saw the Trans Am Vintage races at Laguna Seca recently and tried to mimic a lot on those cars. And it was very relaxing and rewarding to have that driveshaft work out just right!

Nice upgrades too. You should really find a way to get the one header tube off the pan or heat wrap that tube . That's just added unwanted heat to the oil not to mention that it could rub a hole from vibration, if its pushing hard enough on the pan..Just my 2 cents

Thanks. Yeah I wish we had time to install the cut outs

And I tend to agree with you. I guess we will run the first day next Sat and then check it before Sunday. Might have to eventually re-route it. That damn dipstick tube was part of the issue too. Good thing we didn't go -12AN lines otherwise it woulda been really tough.
