Guys,

I just received a 2nd receipt in the mail for a second set of headers I did NOT order. I will NOT sign for this set when UPS arrives. This is ridiculous...

You had to yank the engine out?

I just finished the headers. Getting the trans dip stick back in and the clamp on the rear bank were not fun at all. 4 hrs yesterday, and 3 more today. I tried to take my time, and took a lot of breaks. I havent started her up yet, but I will soon. Still have to fill up the trans, and give it a good look over. Make sure I didnt forget anything.
