To make installing headers fun.
But what is fun is making my wife start the car with no exhaust! https://youtu.be/Am1PXOoZPNc |

I've been working on the car here and there. Funny thing is getting the old manifolds off was the easiest part. They came right out. Then getting the passenger side header in from the bottom wasn't that bad once I got the front of the car high enough and took one bolt out of the started and rotated it. I also dropped the transmission crossmember allowing the engine to rotate back a little. My biggest ass pain right now is getting there damn bolts to thread. The runners are right up against the bolt heads. Not all of them, but a couple for sure.
I may need to start day drinking.... I'm also missing 2 bolts. The crossmember ate them. This post has been edited by Steve91T: Aug 10 2017, 05:28 PM |
