Thanks for the comments everybody. It was a tough job and a lot of little details to plow thru.....still need to get it on the road and see how it drives. It sounds awesome with a low, rumbly exhaust note. I'm wondering if the radiator will keep up with the cooling of the engine. It was idling fine today at steady temps.

Oh, the headers I finally went with were Hedman #68610. They are for Chevelle/Camaro fitments. They exit at nearly a perfect 45* angle and the only issue is the #1 tube hit the clamshell. It requires a little grinding on the top/rear to allow the tube to pass. Again, these work with the 73+ 1/2 ton mounts I used to get the engine in the frame.
