Cut more off the shift linkage, and readjusted it.

This is where it sits in park now, and shifts and feels much better going through the gears!

Is that as close to the header collector as it looks?

Nice progress!

Exhaust arrived today!

Also, mounted a catch can for the valve covers and secured my air intake tube. Getting a little closer!

Had some time this past weekend to try and work on the exhaust. I knew the 2 pipes coming from the headers would need work, but also found that the coilover suspension interferes with the hangers supplied from hooker. My friend with an exhaust shop is going to tackle the system once I get it wired and running.

also, Melloelky stopped by for a visit. Good to see you!
