J/k good job man. Nice write up too.

Yep J, you shoulda kept 'em. You're loss, my gain.

This is how it starts. First it's shorties then a switch to long tubes then heads and cam. Next thing you know it's a 403 build. You better find a cure for mod fever Tim.

Nah, De, maybe only a full day.

A lift would be awesome doing the exhaust bolts and 02's.

Congrats on getting the headers on. Perhaps it would have been a good time to clean up the overspray and valve covers (as you mentioned).

Re-did the intake last fall. Just taped it off. All that overspray was from the previous owner when he painted it the first time.
I got some of the overspray off, but it doesn't show outside of the FRC's, so I wasn't that worried about it.

Oh man Damon, you know there is no cure!

Already thinking about a head/cam package. Probably be next year I'm hoping. Unless I hit that powerball Saturday.
