The exhaust was the hardest part. I was going to keep the manifolds, but discovered a crack. I hated to spend money on another set of restrictive manifolds, so I picked up some no name stainless headers. The good thing is I'll never have to paint them, the bad is it's really hard to dent stainless for clearance. And dent I had to do... I would NOT recommend these for power steering cars. The driver side was installed and pulled at least a half a dozen time. First to clearance for the steering box, and then again when I found out the steering coupler hit. In addition to beating on the headers, I also made 3/16 spacers for the motor mounts. I thought I was good until I drove around the neighborhood. In drive I had no problem, but I went to turn the wheel in reverse, and the motor rocked enough lock up the steering! I've already collapsed that pipe enough, I guess I'll need to replace the stock coupler with a u-joint.
