Here's the damage, #3 rod bearing spun and started to take out #4. Not too bad, crank is probably salvageable. Sold the shortblock to a guy putting it in his 67 blazer.

The RS kit might have weighed 15 lbs max. The paint was ok under the kit but multiple holes were left behind from the rivets. It still looks way better without the kit.
So turns out the TSP 2" headers will need to be clearanced at the steering shaft and a little between the passenger side frame. Not to bad considering the size of these tubes.
The UMI k-member bolts right up to the subframe and looks great. I am going to replace a couple of seals on my steering rack before I torque everything down. Can't stand leaks.
