Happy Friday to you Alex! Thats cool you get to get your motor today! I'm actually driving to Dekalb tomorrow (driving bus for band students) should be fun, and I'll make a few bucks in the process.

Mess with fixing those? The SD plenums are too easy to make work. lol. Just weld up the two extra bolt holes and grind the back side back flat with a flap disc when your done. With SD plenums though I would definitely either weld in a new 3" pipe or get some reinforcing inserts from Riff Raff for them. either way, SD plenums are a cheap and easy plenum to run, even on early model heads.

The piece I made for the oil drain off the turbo.......I lost it! LOL! For the life of me I don't know what I did with that thing, so I had to make another one today.

I know. You can enjoy that for the majority of the time. The rest of the time, you'll just have to deal with it. You should be excited - you get to enjoy my company for the evening.
