I still need to polish the valve covers, so they are not bolted down yet

don't hate the exhaust manifolds, they are temporary till I can afford headers and exhaust

[KickAss89chev]

[midnight_rider]

Not bad, I would love to find an old truck around here and fix it up.

[Golden]

Looking good man!

[yukon cornelius]

Good score, but aren't those heads a little overkill for that combo?

[dave89iroc]

Good score, but aren't those heads a little overkill for that combo?
yeah, but they were on the motor in my K5 when i got it(threw a rod), so i just needed them freshened up

[FordeatinZ71]

oh man that is nice! awesome score on that Z! that motor is gonna be a beast when you're done!

[dave89iroc]

if finances work out right i will order the headers this week as well

[IH8FORD]

looks awesome cant wait to see it all finished up

[carloracer1987]

sweet deal man !!

[dave89iroc]

headers are in, the are Headman long tubes, painted

I am running angle plugs heads, so i am running accel shorty plugs, and dimpled one tube, but no biggie

both fit in pretty easy, i pulled the oil filter on the drivers side, and the oil dipstick on the pass side, and for pass side clearance, I had to cut a little off the trans ear, no biggie, if someone wanted, I am sure the header could be bent to clear w/out cutting

[dave89iroc]

fired it up yesterday, but it has a issue with the PROM, next step is Sean (at CARS http://www.collinsautomotiverepair.com/) picking it up and taking it to the shop

I put some bucket seats in it today, picked up the seats and console for $50 off a guy i met at the J/Y

[dave89iroc]

I'm leaning towards lowering it, but I am going to drive it as is for this year

[davy916]

[dave89iroc]

no cats, 2 1/2" from each header, y-ed into a single 3", strait back over the axle, into a polished stainless Magnaflow crossflow muffler from a f-body, I have the exhaust pretty much done(except for no tail pipes yet and hangers not finished yet), I will get some pics up today

Hi Dave! I like the crossflow muffler idea. :smile:

[dave89iroc]

next step is a posi unit, then drive it till t]the fall, and probably do the body over the winter
