Got my new coolant hoses installed, along with a new thermostat, and outlet. Pulled the old exhaust off the manifolds, and fired it up.
Open rams horns are LOUD!!
Managed to get the old mufflers cut off the pipe I am reusing, and got the driver side ready to weld up to the muffler before the thunderstorms hit. Since I was using my buddies welder (and he took it home with him), I will be taking a different approach to finishing the exhaust. Instead of welding (too easy to burn through), I will fall back on my old technique, and braze it together with a torch and wire. Hoping to make more progress next time I have a day or so off work.
