Hey all;
Everytime I order from Speedway motors I am astounded by how fast they process and ship my order those guys have a top notch shipping department and cheap shipping rates, $7.50 and the 20' roll of aluminum fuel line arrived the next day, wow!

[gdavis]

Glad to hear that. I will be ordering some hoses and small feet for the dimmer switch

Hey all;
Sad news I have been watching an auction for 4 days and I just missed bidding on a set of GM Trailblazer SS exhaust manifolds by one minuite and they sold for $75, that's really depressing considering I won't see another pair for sale in my lifetime for that cheap..

I put the bend in it so the ball joints don't bind up because without it the angle is too extreme.

I picked me up a linkage kit for my th350. Got them painted up and waiting for a colum to put them on.

Hey all;
Well hell I'm kinda stuck untill I find a set of headers.
I'm going to need some where the front two tubes sweep back instead of go down in order to clear the CPP perches, the search is on.

Speaking of headers. I just got done building some for Bompenstein.
It wasn't all that difficult.
I wasn't able to find any that "sweep back" like you mentioned.
Just a thought.

Hey all;
After some research I found some headers that will work.
Not surprising I found them right here on the board they were originally custom designed for a board members project by Jamie Joyce from Doug Thorley Headers.
Here is a link for anyone interested http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=287231

I picked up a set for the 350 of mine. for 60.00 shipped. what a find.

[gdavis]

Hey Brian got my grill in today. What a find. I posted a picture of the damage to the grill.

[Xeen]

Hey all;
My build is on hold for the moment untill I can secure some more funds for the Headers.
On a personal note, I can't believe I am being held up this close to the finish line, it seems like every time I turn around this truck is Five Hundred Dollaring me to death.

[Xeen]

Hey all;
Good news I came up with the cash for the Headers so the build is back on track, I will be ordering the Headers on Monday.

[Xeen]

Hey all;
I will also be ordering a Lokar flexible engine dipstick on Monday.

Hey all;
I just ordered the THY-324Y-C headers from Mike at Doug Thorleys, I'm stoked!
$590 shipped with the member discount, the price has gone up just slightly since 2008 as you might expect.
Here's the link if you want to check them out.

Hey all;
I just ordered the Lokar ED-5021 flexible engine dipstick which is made specifically for the Doug Thorley Headers I bought.

[Zoomin]

I bought the Thorley headers for my project. I was really happy with their product.
