I also measured the bellhousing runout and it came in less than 2 thousandths. So, should be good there.

Similar issue on my 383 w/ Hedman mid-length headers and AFR heads, had to cut and grind a socket just to be able to remove one of the plugs. Even with fiberglass thermal sleeves around the boot had a couple melt. Also had access issues torquing a couple of the header bolts and found Remflex (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rfl-2086) headers gaskets as the only way to stop exhaust leaks. PS: Looks super clean.
