New engines always look so nice! Good to see your making progress with the car. Sounds like it was a bit of a PITA to get installed but when done it will be worth all the Pain & Suffering!!  :cheers:

I doubt there are many drop in headers for big block cars...altho I had a set of hookers on a BB chevy that I installed without much hassle.

It would not have been too bad except for that.  Getting the engine mount holes lined up was hard...mainly because the view was obstructed so it was a guessing process...but it's in and I think I found the transmission linkage clamp that broke so I am smiling more at the moment LOL

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

How big a carb? Vacuum or mechanical secondaries? Brand?

I had a set of hookers
And I'm wondering where you would find a pair out in the middle of nowhere. :rofl:

Or in Steve's case: palative care workers.  They'll rub your junk for enough money too. $$$

watch what you ask for Steve - we could always take up a collection and send some hourly workers from craigslist/backpage over to help. Do you like them with or without teeth  :player:
