Lafermedavid, do you remember if L&L gave you the choice of header reducer size? The headers come with reducers, but it doesn't say what size. I see they also sell different size reducers separately. I need 3".

I'll be interested in seeing how you run your exhaust. I have mine basically in the factory setup for a 78 Bronco. It's y'd over on the passenger side and then it runs over the tranny crossmember, over the axle, and then out at the rear passenger corner by the bumper. 2 1/2" to the y then 3" in/out at the muffler and out to the tip. Whenever I go to some headers I want to route it the same, but 3" and dualed instead. There's not a ton of room to work with such a short wheelbase. I'm definitely leaving hp on the table though. I had it dyno'd, so I know where I could be if I free it up or at least closer to it. I doubt anyone ever gets the engine dyno numbers once the engine goes into the chassis and sees real world conditions.

Cool beans, that's how I have mine, minus the muffler type and the exit location of course. Same spot for the O2 sensor as well.

Well, I've got a lot of stuff on order now. I just got off the phone with Keith Fulp, and ordered a timing pointer. Before that, I called L&L and ordered headers, flywheel, clutch, and throwout bearing. He promised it'd ship NLT 13 May. And I ordered the 460 EFI Guys motor mounts three days ago. Theoretically, I could be mocking up old heads and headers to check header and motor mount clearance in two weeks. tic toc, tic toc.
The Lunati kit (minus the camshaft) should have been shipped three days ago. Since they're just up the road from me, I should see that package soon. Gotta get the spring kit to the cylinder head shop.
