    Wrecking stuff

    Well the resident ricer boy at work keeps saying he wants to race me. He has a worn out first gen talon AWD turbo that can't get drive to work for a week without breaking stuff. But just to be on the safe side, I want to put headers on the car sine the stock 442 exhaust chokes a 307 I imagine it won't do much for a 455. So I tear off the stock stuff and get the pass side SBO/G-body header to fit fine, gonna be tight with the oil filter though. Move to the driver side, Just about had to flatten one of the tubes because the one from cyl#3 crosses over the others and interferes with the steering shaft. Not Good !
    So I grab one of my BBO/A-body ones and proceed to trim. Fit now just gotta weld a few pieces in. Hopefully that will get done this week.
    Here's the header now.

    #3 being bent that much looks quite restrictive .

    Hope you can beat Talon boy...guess it depends if his is modded right or not but it should at least be a good test.

    You think that ding looks bad you should see the SBO header
    I think I will be able to be him but traction will be the biggest issue . His AWD to my 3.73 non-posi single spinner
    Oh well I won't do it till I am fairly confident. He says that he has a new bigger turbo. But who knows how long the rest of his motor will hold up.
    I was cutting some tube today and my last sawzall blade crapped out on me Oh well there's always tomorrow.....
