I could do this myself very quickly but that is not the point. He gets out of school soon and we may be able to go faster. I did find out that the exhaust manifold is cracked. Will take it to work and see if we can weld it as it has dual exhaust outlets. Those Ross pistons are purrrdy. Jay 6511


Damn the 2bbl integrated exhaust was cracked. That was one of the focal points of the project. Hope it welds up easy.
