I'll resize and post more asap. Had to get a mini starter to fit with the header. The ol fatty stock style was not happy with the fit so out it went. I want to use a Ford style solenoid so I have a jumper wire on the starter to bypass one on starter. All about the look!!

Using those FATTY Remflex exhaust gaskets. Feet will be toasty will those pipes underneath! And no exhaust leaks....I hope.

**** Wanted to add a note....*** So if you have a newer offshore made engine hoist. There is a GOOD chance if you leave it under pressure, it WILL lose pressure. Mine is from NAPA. So be careful how long things dangle in the air! Have never ever seen that happen. Crap hyd seals.

Sharp looking engine and those headers are beasts.

Looks fantastic!  I used some heat shielding on my headers and exhaust on my undercar and it works really well.  The link below is similar to what I got.  You can get it in different lengths, and it really made a difference.  I did a video on it too when Pete asked about the proximity to my brake lines.
