Great looking set up! Will the stock hood close on that manifold?

I doubt it, lol

this is very promising, as i'm using the hooker mounts, holley intake, & what appears to be the same turbo headers (....jardine???)

couple of quick questions, though:
what steering shaft is that you have? and you said the headers hit that?
do you know if the driver side headers will clear a vacuum brake booster/master combo?
where/how do you plan on running the driver side down pipe?
did you consider trying the smaller p/s pulley for steering gear clearance?

thanks in advance! great looking setup!

Yea same headers, can't answer your questions as I am waiting in a replacement set that should work with a stock steering setup. Didn't go with the smaller pulley as I did not wanna use factory brackets. As for the driver side pipe, I will run it to the outside if the steering shaft. I reran my brake lines and I will only be running partial splash shields, if any.

How much did you paid for the vintage air heating system?

 

[vader87]

$259 shipped.

Replacement set of headers showed up and fitment is spot on!! As you can see the header is close to the brake reservoir so I will build some type of shield to keep heat off the MC. Unfortunately the current accessory setup will not work due to the power steering pump is too high. So I ordered a new setup which will move the alt over to the passenger side and use an Fbody PS setup. If interested in this setup, let me know. I will be posting it up for sale in the For Sale section.

so is that an off-the-shelf driver side header from jardine, or has it been modified?

 

[vader87]

He made me a new set.

 

[vader87]

Some trunk work done. Rear firewall installed also, As you can see, we just had a major dust storm.

 

[WFO_SS]

He made me a new set.

what i meant is, was there anything defective/wrong with the original set?

 

[vader87]

No, they just didnt fit.

More to follow!

If you guys go with an F Body Power Steering Pump, DO NOT buy the factory pulley! It is plastic and I have already chipped it! Get this one:

Dorman 300-202

What tank set-up is that for the Alky? Looks like a decent size...does Julio sell it or did you mod yourself? Thanks, Bill
