Default Installing New Headers... Pics

Some people were asking me for picutres of the headers gettin' put in...
We started this afternoon, and have a few more hours of work to do tomorrow
morning. Decided to go with the PaceSetter headers and y-pipe, engine mounts, and
a new tranny mount. Also replaced the sprak plugs while we had everything apart....

Under the car...


Unbolting the old headers...


The old, gross, nastiness...


Empty space where the old headers were... (Driver Side)


Working into the night...


More to come when we finish up tomorrow....
