Relax Brian !  :haha: It's not the end of the world  :D


We're just talking headers and a nice set of MP cast aluminum valvecovers.  :coolgleamA:

The stock VC's are pretty banged up.....the DS cover is caved in 1/2in deep at the rear of the engine.  :smash:

One of the problems Ron and I had while breaking the motor in was that the new power steering pump failled. Well, failled would be an understatement. It downright fried!!!!! :fireangry: :fireangry: :fireangry: Shaft had excessive play and the fluid inside was boilling :confused: It even melted the plastic dipstick. Go figure. Had a spare old one lying around, slap it in and works great for now. E-mailed my concerns to the company that I purchased it from, so waiting for an answer.

Yep, that was a new one for me too Denis....never seen a PS pump do that before !  :eek2: Keep us up to date on your progress regarding the supplier. These's absolutely no reason why this pump should not be exchanged. It was not assembled properly, period !  :icon_smile_blackeye:


Thanks for the Keiths !  :cheers:

I like all three but I like direct bolt patterns, not uni-lug.  Cragar needs to get back in the business of WHEELS.... 

A set of Billit Specialties, STREET LITE's would be awesome on that car....

Holy Crap!!!!! What a difference a slick pair of rims does to a car. They look all great Ron, but I'm leaning towards the wheels in the second shot. I just put her away today then off to work which is where I am right now. Thanks for seting this up.
