Picked it up from having the 6 point roll bar installed on Saturday, painted it today.

Installed a 455, turbo 350, PTC 10" converter. Headers are Headmen from a 67 GTO, Lemans, Tempest 1 3/4" primaries and 3" collectors. Bought six 1 3/4" U bends and four foot stick of 3" pipe to reroute seven out of the eight tubes and extend the collectors. Have $200 and about 15 hours into the headers

Fun isn't it.
It's really not that bad once you get started, At least for me.

Your right, once the first tube was routed to and spot welded to the collector the rest fell into place.

New front tires should be here tomorrow. Still have to get a 5 point harness and install it. Need to make a battery hold down and fix the accelerator pump. Also need to fix the rust in the rear quarters.

Took the car to Tri State Raceway in Earlville, Iowa last Saturday. First test run found the weak link in the 7.5 rear. Heated the tires, staged the car and loaded the converter to 2000 rpm, lights came down and nothing. I did break the beams as my friend told me I cut a 047 light. I was told by a track official that a u- joint broke but I didn't hear any thing banging around. Turned out the two small pinion gears let go in the rear. Time for a Ford 9".
