It's the standard MKIV layout. I actually bought this from Mike Moran many years ago. He listed it for a buddy that had it in a boat. I tried searching for Turbo Craft years ago and got nothing.

I've had this almost that long. He stopped in Valdosta GA on his way down to a winter test in Orlando, I was stations at Moody AFB at the time. Mike had some very "out of the box" ideas way back then, using gas filled O-rings (metal) as gaskets like on some jet engine areas.

Beautiful car what size tires and wheels are you running in the rear? I'm doing a frame off on my 69 right now suspension is done and I'm picking up an ls3 this week.

Out of curiosity, what head gasket did you go with on the Profilers? I really like the look of that gasket; looks better than the one that came with my FIRST intake.
You went with the Profiler 185cc which are a Felpro 1205 port size? is that right?

Jim, you were able to just drop the engine in with the power steering pump on it like that?
If fits SO closely to the frame "dent" for it, I was kinda afraid to try and drop the engine in with it on and I was planning on attaching it after dropping the engine back in the engine bay. If I can drop it in attached, it's definitely a timesaver, though...

You need to remove the header wrap if you don't have stainless tube headers. The amount of heat the wrap hold in will destroy mild steel tubing. you should not use header wrap closer than about 24 inches from the engine head exhaust ports.
