2nd update today
Back in November at MCACN I picked up a set of used Doug’s D103 1.75” headers. They’re ceramic coated and almost 1k new, I picked these up for like 200 bucks because they’ve seen speed bumps a few times. But for this car they’ll work perfectly.
After pulling the manifold off the drivers side the header fit right in after a little jack magic and a few choice words. I used copper SCE gaskets and ARP bolts so hopefully I don’t have any leaks.
The passenger side was a bit more of an adventure because I had to remove the starter, partially put the header in, slip the starter in, then hold the starter up near the block while sliding the header further up. Another set of hands would’ve made the work easy. But Marty can’t do that yet since he’s only 2. So I had to make do with it myself. After many more choice words everything was installed and tight. Tomorrow I need to make a parts store run and I’m waiting for some Amazon stuff to finish the intake.
Thanks for reading.
