Awesome. Question: What mount did you use to put the crank sensor pickup in that location? Also, what was done to mount the trigger wheel on the back of the balancer like that?

I used a small block chevy crank sensor mount. The wheel we just put it in the lathe and opened it up to the same diameter as the back of the balancer for a press fit.

Worked on the headers last night for a few hours. Little disappointed in the quality of the stainless. Driver side about 90% done.
