    Thanks with the offer with the help! But the engine has been assembled since the middle of February still waiting on a dyno to break it in.

    The original engine is still in the car and I’m not taking that out until I know that this engine is OK with no issues.

    It’s good to hear that you just put the block off plate on wrong cause the video in the beginning does look disturbing. Mike probably shook his head and laughed!

    I do stupid crap all the time, the trick is limiting the amount!

    Just go old school and do it in the car, sometimes it’s all you have and time is ticking, trust your work!

    Looks good, what headers did you come up with any pictures?

    Going to use T/A stage 2 for now. Later I hope to modify them into a huge collector like MT Scavengers.

    If you go online, you can find the correct Holly Carburetor decal.

    Almost to pretty to ceramic coat, but did anyway.

    Awesome! But get rid of the thread sealer on the fuel line fittings....that stuff is for tapered pipe thread.

    Your fuel lines seal dry at the 90° double flare interface, not the threads.

    It’s fuel rated, and I know that, but cheap insurance to me. I’m always afraid to tighten them too much, so it makes me feel better.

    You need my.N.OS. kustom headers.
    But then they would not be N.O.S. anymore.
    Bringing 1 to b.g. for display and 1 head.
    Plus lots of misc n.o.s. parts.

    I’ll certainly be happy to buy them from, seriously!

    Bring both headers, maybe me and my friend Ben Franklin can convince you to let me have them.
