I won't be wronged, I wont be Insulted and I wont be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

Absolutely gorgeous and great work!

I remember installing a 526 (one of the first retooled Chrysler engines) in my 69 Charger and found that any non-original mods would make things challenging, so I can't begin to imagine how tough this has been for you.

Of course you must persevere because you're too far down the road to turn back....thank goodness.

I ended up losing the headers and went to original exhaust manifolds to make things co-exist a bit better, but doubt you have that option with the 572...it would probably choke the darn thing. Don't know if you're planning on it, but I suggest putting some heat protection cloth around the brake lines or other affected components that will inevitably bake near the headers.

You definitely seem to have covered most bases, so I'll simply wish you continued success through the home stretch!

Thanks for sharing.
