Wow! That's even more awesome, it pays to have connections or know where to go!

Why not use your old headers for break-in?

Or any "old" headers?

Because they just don't slide in and out that easy and time is a premium right now.

If the motor grenades right off the get-go I'll reconsider using the old headers.

Good news today was the Doug's headers fit with more clearance on the drivers side than passenger.

Mediocre news was electrical wiring gremlins didn't allow the car to be delivered home tonight, maybe tomorrow, if not sometime next week.

Header fit pics for those that can't get a straight answer from the tech departments at Hooker, Dynatech, Sanderson, Thorley, Hedman, Summit, or Jegs. Doug's wasn't even sure they would clear the Saginaw 700 box. As it turns out the idler arm was the tightest clearance. Don't have a good pic of that clearance yet.

The floorboard fit and ground clearance is good.

oh, I thought you were running the 600/670 box. Ok, looks like it fits just fine.

Norwood is back home for "detail" work and engine break-in before going back to the shop for sheet metal install.

We'll see how productive I can be this weekend.

Watch those rubber "feet" coil mounts... I've had them tear in half. They're pretty soft and pretty small. I think the intention was to mount the weight of the coil in compression.

I didn't mount that but it caught my attention. Appears a bit frail. Guess I should make a tether for it huh? LOL.

I'm accepting to more secure and proven mounting suggestions at this time.
