Cool ride. I always wanted a early poncho, but I scored my rolling chassis cheap!

What is used for a gasket at the collector on the header?

Can you go under the car and forward? This is a A-body, not how different an F-body is. I used stock F-body manifolds mounted normally.

Those are CTS-V. Always weld on a vband though. Those 2 bolt flanges leak.

Here's what I ended up with. Thanks to LS1Nova for the manifold info, they worked out great! Tight squeeze with a T6 unit but we got it in there. Will take more pics soon.

Close man, wrenching on it a few times a week again. Always have SOMETHING wrong when I get something finished up, lol. Have to cut brackets off the rear and weld some new ones one, some genius thought it'd be brilliant to weld it with the pinion angle down at a pretty steep angle. Who knows.
