This is the new header before it got heat coated. Its much nicer than the old one and will flow a lot better. This will help a bunch in the power department. In the right hand shot, you can see the transmission boss that needs be cut away because it would be in the way of the exhaust pipe.... Date: 09/01/2003

I bought some new carb stacks and they needed to be machined down a touch in order to fit on my carbs. I used Phil's end mill to shave off some material. Date: 05/09/2004
Today we installed the radio and Hot Lap systems and scraped a mound of crud off the tires. Date: 06/06/2004
Today I installed another fuel pump so I would have a backup. I took this time to move the filter and original pump. I also assembled and installed the new Aeroquip lines for the reconfigured fuel delivery system. Date: 07/23/2004
