You don't want to get the -LK version as it's lacking the linkage kit. Worth the extra $11 to me.

$277+ shipping.

I went with that over Clifford due to price. Nothing more to it than that.

Get some epoxy to seal the plugs in the runners. You'll see them on the bottom side. Easiest way to seal them.

Heat plate:

$32. Buy it. I have more into mine after trying to make my own than that. Plus it was a real PITA to make and have seal.

One trick I learned was I went to Lowes and got a piece of 1/8" thick rubber in the plumbing department. It's orange in color. http://www.lowes.com/pd_31446-143-PP25546_0__?productId=1082955&Ntt=rubber+gasket+material&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Drubber%2Bgasket%2Bmaterial&facetInfo=

I cut it up to make a gasket for the heat plate. Only way I could get it to seal. Used that and a thin coat of RTV and it holds great. No leaks.

Muffler: I have a flowmaster Series 10. Don't get it. Too loud. I'll let others chime in on that.

Exhaust: I just went with steel because I doubt I'll be keeping it all like this long term. I'll probably go forced induction at some point in the next few years. Regardless that was $400 at Midas.

Muffler was like $70-ish.

That's $1,085 if you're keeping track.

For the carb I shopped and shopped and finally found a used Holley 0-8007 for $180 shipped. Had to rebuild it for $35.

For the heater hose I T-ed off at the firewall. Figure about $25 in all the bits there.

Finally you'll need a new fuel line from the pump to the carb and inline fuel filter. $40.

Grand total: $1365.

The nice thing is you don't have to do it all at once. I did the exhaust end first then intake a few months later.


Thanks very much! That was awesome! Thanks for all the homework you just did for me. It is appreciated!
I am just getting into tearing my front end off completely, and then pulling the motor. I will be replacing whiney timing gears, and of course, cleaning my pick up tube/screen, might as well put a new oil pump in. Etc...
I can start buying parts in the process, then ya know....start putting it all together. I am hoping when spring comes, to have great photos to post, with a smile on my face.
I am sure along the adventure, I will be on here, saying...
"I am doing something wrong", help!!...hahahahaha
