Hey nice vid, sounds great and looks great.

On a side note, what long tube headers do you have? Any fitment issues? I'm interested in some long tubes for my 69 so I would like some input, thanks

and keep up the good work!

They are Hooker Competitions..and I actually had no fitment problems.. Only hastle was getting the bolts in because the bolt hole is soo close to the header tube, which is notched where it meets the plate so that the bolt head has room.... So the way to do it is to start all the bolts and then tighten them in evenly so that you actually draw the plate to the block instead of putting the header against the block and then installing the bolts.. That way keeps the bolt head in the notched part of the tube so that it doesnt bind up against the tube.. I like em.. I figure that once I burn all the paint off, I will get them blasted and coated..

Thanks for the comments guys.. I love the damn thing.. I watched the video at work like 12 times..

Nice

Just to make sure, you do know that you should be doing stop and go for the first 500 or so miles? No extended freeway during that period. Oil change at 50, 200, 500, 1k, then standard 3k interval. Just want to make sure your engine lasts a long time for you

That vid is making me want to drop the muffler and run them straight back. Sounds like it will devour anything within 10 ft. NICE!
