Good progress last weekend. I swapped out that Sanderson "shortie" header for a 2 1/2" ram's horn. Welded up the new header pipe to the manifold. And inserted the new dipstick. Unfortunately, inserted the dipstick with the wrong clocking so it's almost as awkward to check oil as it was before all that work. Twos steps forward, one step back. I know I owe you guys some pics.
