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...

Keep them and sell them for profit after the group buy ends.

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.
