Pics of the ATS mounts and trans x member, this crossmember has been modified, I cut off the original pad and had another one made, this allows me to put the crossmember in the stock location on the subframe, not foward like ATS wanted, FYI,

Did you have those headers coated, steve? You should send them to me for a fitment and longevity test.

Tyler, at what was ATS told me they are Jet Hot coated, which I believe him because you can't really scrape or scratch them,

they are nice! Can't wait to put the on the car, hell even put the engine in the car!

And sir, you can't borrow them!!!!

MLK day update, actually off work! first time in 23 yrs, work contract no fed holidays off, no big deal,

so this weekend, cleaned the heads, there now spotless, and now I can tell they've had some port work to them, exhaust side, bowl and light intake work,

intake and throttle body also spotless, installed new gaskets,

picked up some new lifter trays from the dealer, much nicer than my low milage originals, so todays a good day for some garage work, also raining,

still have to clean up the head gaskets,
