Those are the kind I like anyway, I dont think I could even own a rare numbers matching GTO, I would be too worried about it. I prefer to build them to my taste which is refined and fast. my build is on here as well starting from the frame up.

finally bolted the headers and motor woo hoo

now I just need to start assembling the clutch parts, all the dam accessories, plugs, wires, distributor, and a bunch of other things before I get the body panels back on and then I can take it up to the shop for its first startup

should I wait to fit up the exhaust and do the first startup on open headers? lol

yes exhaust will be getting replaced eventually with bigger tubbing






Damn brake proportioning valve was in the way of the driver side header so just moved it up and out of the way for now I'll figure out later how I mount to mount it

I was told NOT to fire mine up with open headers...if something's wrong with the engine, you won't be able to hear it.

Looking GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
