Thanks.

The last set I did was quicker as all I was concerned about was clearing the frame and not the tube lenghts.

Pugsy, you do good work. :o

Got the collector cut and welded to the header.
I just got to check the fit now and then finish welding the tubes to the flanges.

Thanks for the pictures pugsy and vile.  I am thinking of making an engine stand, when I am done with this truck.

Pugsy, are you going to run your wires forward and then along the valve cover? Looks great! Very unique!

Thanks for the reminder. I've got to figure out the wires before ceramic coating. I may weld tabs to screw wire holders to if needed to keep them away.

I ground down an 18mm s/s nut with a zipcut disc to use as an o2 sensor bung.

Round peg in a square hole. I had to stretch the corners out with a hammer and punch.
