Looks great Sam.   I am ready to make that baby orange sometime soon.  I am really looking forward to seeing Hooley makes some passes in the Henry J.  We all have close ties to that motor as it was the motor we used the first year at Bonneville.

I really like those headers but I think they'd be "over kill" on a 4.3 liter V6. The size of those pipes would be sucking for air on 1 3/8" square exhaust ports. But if he decides to turbo-charge that engine I might be interested in the "cast-offs". My 1 1/4" EMT tubing bends came from McMaster-Carr yesterday but our 7 year old (soon to be 8) grandaughter has been asked to participate in an invitational swim meet at her parents "Alma Matre" so we'll be in Cincinnati/Oxford rooting. Will this Henry J be at the HAMB drags? The engine should already be broke-in. GPster

Good work Sam!!!  And I agree with you that Hooley needs to be kept in a cage :P .

When is he going to get it??  I'll probably be through there late next week or next weekend and want to stop and see you.  I'll give him a call probably today to see what his plans are.

c ya,

Looks pretty nice Sammie. Would that be the cast iron pipe or the schedule 40 pipe? That motor looks too small. You guys been busy.

Hooley is sure starting to like those funny car style cages.

Looks good
