I was able to get a couple of chances to work in the shop over weekend. though both short, I was able to get the Trans back in the burb and the old exhaust all removed.
Also started swapping oil pan bolts with the new ARP bolts with thread sealant.
I need to meditate on just how I want to do the exhaust. I have a ton of 2.5" pipe and my mind keeps thinking I should go 3"... none of which I have.....
