Re: Engine Upgrade on my 71 !

OK, my son and I put on the headers, installed the alternator and power steering pump, hooked up all the lines, added coolant and oil, but were only able to hook up one exhaust pipe to the headers, the drivers side header is canted up slightly, so theres a 1/2 inch gap. Looks like I'll be welding pipe tomorrow.

I fired it up for like 2 seconds just to see if she'd go and she did, but it was 11 pm so I quickly turned it off. That open header is LOUD!!!!!

I'm too tired to upload the photos, so I'll catch you tomorrow.

Dan
