Rather than completely duplicate the posting, I will simply refer you to this blog entry<\/a> for the details of reworking the header.<\/p>\n

In the intervening 5 days since that work was done, I’ve had little chance to work on anything before tonight.<\/p>\n

On the engine\/exhaust, I bolted on the header and carefully but temporarily placed the bumper to check for clearances, such as the O2 sensor. It clears nicely! If you are interested, you can refer to today’s blog post<\/a> for more details about the bumper and other non-engine things.<\/p>\n

I got the chrome stinger and baffle on the way home from work. It seems almost silly to pay $40 for what is essentially a slightly flared pipe with a flange, but I couldn’t make one anywhere as quickly as I picked one up. It is the swivel type and bolted on nicely, though I didn’t cinch it down permanently. I will need to remove it to drill the stinger and baffle for a retaining bolt. Sadly, this counts as the best picture I took of it. I will take a better one in the daylight and replace it.<\/p>\n

I needed to see how the body cleared the bumper (it does) and while the body was down out of the rafters, I also verified that the throttle body and air filters will clear the body. Looks like it was designed around it!<\/p>\n

In other stuff, I put on the intake boot clamps and the heat riser tubes.<\/p>\n

I’d hoped to work on the fuel tank tonight, but ran out of time. The liner is well cured by now…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
