Before & After

[Maximus]

Back burner the Nova for a while unless there is a sentimental attachment that keeps you working on it I don't know about.

The fact that it could be a loose connection, or bad relay thats keeping me from driving the Nova...I think Ill spend some time troubleshooting it vs starting a resto on the Mustang.

Gotcha. If that's all it is....then again I know intermittent failures all too well where I work. Everything in the plant is an intermittent disaster waiting to happen.

I worked on the Stang this weekend and got some more stuff done.















Header from Hell!




Nothing like torquing down the FW and clutch and then realizing that I forgot the saftey plate.




and the BH might, Might fit once I remove the header from hell and beat the shit out of it.


I tried to make the underside look as good as the top using Brake clean, Scoth brite, primer and Rustoleum Machine Grey spray paint.

I wanted a SS header, so I went with Kooks.

Show car that gets down the 1/4 mile and can cruise on the streets.

Kooks was absolutely nightmare to deal with on mine.

That sucks, hopefully its only the passenger side I have to deal with.
Did you end up running BBKs?

[cstreu1026]

I used the Kooks I just had to buy a bunch of extra parts to make the x pipe work

Thats gonna suck. But I did talk to dude@Kooks who said they re-designed some things including their X-pipe. So hopefully its not too hateful.

Looking good!!!

Thanks!

After I got what was supposed to be the right x pipe for the version of the headers that I had they stopped responding to emails or phone calls even though the the x pipe was so short the x hit the trans cross member.

No shit? That aint cool. Im thinking Ill have the same issues then.

What trans and BH are you using?

[cstreu1026]

QuickTime bellhousing and a TKO600.

I hope for your sanity they fixed the issues in later revisions but I don't believe there were any issues related to the bellhousing.

I guess I should have installed the BH first, but it looks like its not gonna fit without some "massaging" of the header tube.

[cstreu1026]

What size headers are you using?

[SN95N/A]

I have a set of custom jpc longtube headers on my setup they don't come that close.

[Maximus]

What size headers are you using?

I think, 1-7/8"
