For a hunting truck I vote screw the fancy body work and paint the bugger OD Green!

Also nice work so far on the swap.

pacesetter fbody headers work on 2 wheel drives, LMC offers a conversion header p/n 36-6075 (block huggers) or p/n 36-6076 (mid-length) both should clear the front axle.

i think the mids are the BRP conversion headers....cheaper to buy through BRP

few thinks changed in the "plan".... cam has become a 222/226 .5xx/.5xx 111+2 and the motor and transmission are about ready to be put together as soon as i find a good price on a converter.
