Started the day cleaning off the case..what a mess!

Then it was header time..

Runner mocked up..

Had a few mivers stop by..here's one of them now!

So, the 3/4 side is tacked and ready for a stronger welder. Originally, I was going to use the J-Pipes, but they weren't the correct size, so I'll be needing to order one more U-Bend and a couple more flanges, and we should be good to go on the 1/2 side.

Polishing up the main intake pipe now..

Tried to pull it out, but the manual says we need to be at TDC, so that'll have to wait till it's off the engine stand.

Made some "headway" on the "header" tonight..

Thanks again for the help Darren!

Went to the junkyard and found these jewels:

..and wrapped up the night by taking out the stock, and putting in some HD Valve Springs:

Tomorrow I'm going to finish up setting up the intake situation and I've got some fresh pushrod tubes to install.
