Mike, how do those ebay ss headers fit? These are pretty much use less. Can't get a collector on them.
The header almost touches the oil pan. These must be for a wedge engine?

Yesterday I bit the bullet and ordered some Hot heads block huggers. I was going to get the ebay ones but I got a refund from over paying on my escrow so better headers it was.
I have been messing with getting the engine positioned farther back too. It was eating at me that I spent the time and money to have a recessed fire wall, but wasn't really utilizing it. So I removed the steering column and shaft, and moved the engine and trans back. Once the headers get here, I'll get it finalized.
Yesterday I finally took the time to replace the bad brake line on the 95 F350 I bought late last fall. I have to get it ready to go on vacation in June and July. I had better drive it some before we just bonzi in it to KC for the first part of the Power Tour. I have to replace the head lights and turn signals up front, and get rid of the air brushing on the side of it. Do any of you have any idea what the eagle clenching a diamond might mean? I might leave it, but I doubt it. I don't like having some one else's ride if you know what I mean.
I'm going to repaint the entire truck back green some day. (Maybe)

Yep. It’s pretty sad.
