Thank You! I don't think I will be bringing anything to LST, I went last year with a friend and it took us two hours to get in the gate. I will be at C10s in the park again this year, that is a great show!

Thank you! The manifold fits great with a little work. I had to massage the top of the engine stand on the right side a little, about a 1" of it. The engine stand has two raised bumps in it and the one closest to the firewall needed to be flattened out, I heated it with the torch and hammered it down just until it was as flat as the engine stand. I am running Dirty Dingo 73-87 motor mounts and I added some 3/8" plate in between the engine and the dirty dingo mount to allow added clearance for the manifold from the frame rail. Also the dirty dingo mounts are slotted and the motor is pushed over to the left side as far as the slots would allow.

Thank You! Are you planning to attend the car show in Bellville on March 11th? If so I plan to have it there.

Just park over in the spectator group. That's what I do (for the same reason).... It still takes an hour just to reach the spectators lot though but saves you big-time on the exiting delays
