Great build, in the middle of my own '66 project. Did you use the BRP oil pan as well?

Thanks pal...
Unfortunately the LH8 known as the hot rod pan hangs below the cross member by 2.5-3 inches. Lowered car, not good! Sold it local and went with a Holley LS 302-1. Clears steering at full lock and flush with the cross member. Hope that helps...

I'll keep you in my prayers. My brother had one done 8 years ago at 40.

Is this the car you're thinking of my headers for?

Many thanks John! Yes pal, that would be me. I need the headers to run parallel on either side of the trans as is most common. From what I gather these are aligned to have the exhaust curl in/up under the trans, inside the tunnel as the Vette application requires. I've been wrong before though. They are an outstanding set of headers...

Nice transformation, love this body style.

I had a 72, 402, 4 speed Malbu when I was in the military, should have kept it.
