Yes, I am sick. My family knows this, and we are all struggling through it.
What about the repro RA manifolds?,or are those only for round ports?

I'm using the stock manofolds. Had them porcelain coated. Read an article that claims the stock manifiolds actually flow pretty good. I'm not really going to be driving the car that much, so performance is not my priority.

Cool...gives me an idea for when we need to redo our L75.

Why did you port the heads and put a different cam in it then? Being that I'm going to own that car, you should have consulted with me prior to making any mods!

Just figured while we were in there we would beef her up a bit and if anyone ever wanted, they could easily swap manifiolds/exhaust for better performance. Also, I figured it better run close to a super duty since that's what you're used to. I want to make sure you're happy when we trade.

I sure wish you would have installed RAIII manifolds! LOL

Is this an A/C car? I can't remember.

Call me at home if you get a chance! PM me if you don't have the number!
