New pics. Pipe work done!! It runs!!!!

I got it running this weekend. I didn't have a 2nd gear and no TCC lockup and it wouldn't up or down shift. The tranny was rebuilt 1 1/2 ago but he will take care of it. My block girdle leaks so the motor cam back out today along with the tranny. But I got 300 miles on it over the weekend.
The new pics are in the second album. It shows the pipeing work that I had done. They guy charged me $900 bucks but it was worth it. He did an extremly nice job. He took my 0 to 60 pipe and cut some bends out of it and made a whole new down pipe. The 0 to 60 would hit the lower control arm and the headers. His doesn't. Comes out and without removing anything else and its 2 piece. I was impressed!

I see 0's for the near future. I pulled my motor out and checked a main cap. Its down to the copper in one spot. And the head gaskets are leaking. So I'm off to the machine shop today.

headers

Are those ATR headers? Same size runners as stock? How Much $ ?

 

[turbowrenchhead]

Those are ATR's. I paid around $700 I think new. As for being the same size as a stock exhuast runner. I think they wouldn't hurt bolting up to a stock head.
