    Got my new headers

    Yesterday my headers showed up.   Not sure when I’ll have time to install the engine to check the fit but I need to do it sooner than later.   If they don’t fit they’ll get sent back.

    I spoke with Stan at FPA and he hasn’t made a set of headers for my R&C setup in a few years.   He said he was 8-10 weeks out on orders and gave me a ton of knowledge on the different MII setups and why some headers fit and others don’t.  So that’s what lead to me trying these other headers.

    Thanks, we had the slab finished from the place we bought it at.  I built the table legs myself and only spent $100 on material.  The place we bought the slab from wanted &800 and up for table legs.  And it was my son who snapped the picture and he is the one who put the header on his moms nice table.  I kindly told him that was a no no.  lol

    I should have pictures of the header fitment today.  Just catching up with online stuff and then off to the garage.

    Re: Got my new headers

    I would love to post pictures but it appears I am unable to.  Not sure why or what has changed.

    Both headers fit extremely well and the clutch cable clears the headers perfectly.  Extremely happy with how well they fit.
