A few things to finish...
Make bracket to mount firecore coil near intake
Modify OBX header on passenger side so angles plug will fit

Verrrry nice ! Looks sharp with the orange valvecovers....cool contrast with the aluminum intake/heads.  :coolgleamA:

What is the clearance issue with the passenger side plugs ?  :scratchchin:  Can you post a pic ?  :scope:

Didn't get a pic of it. These Edelbrock heads have angled plugs and 6 hits the center pipe to the point where you can't even get the plug in. I will need to modify it with a torch and a persuader..

Other than that the OBX headers seem great. I am also upgrading the header bolts to 1 inch because the flange is so thick.

Found one..

That is where the angled spark plug goes so this tube either needs to move a bit or get "modified"

Ya, it looks like the angled #6 plug runs right into the #2 primary tube. The TTI headers have a different design...both front cylinder tubes are upswept which is better for plug clearance with angled plugs on #5 & #6  :yesnod:

You should be able to clearance that tube with some heat and a ballpein hammer.  :smash:

That is a nice looking mill. I like those valve covers.   :2thumbs:

Maybe it's just the angle of the pic, but the oil pan looks like it hangs down there pretty far.
