So i got the motor and trans put in had to order a GForce 4l80e crossmember and realized today that because i have a 78 and the 78-83 had a short 3 speed trans in them i had to order the frame extension so that's on its way now. Also the new front coilovers came. After about a month trying to get them from g body parts.com.....not a good time. I will say that the customer service wasnt bad to deal with but not a fan of the drop shipping bs.
Ok So im trying to find some BBC headers for the car but it seems that the Hooker Headers #2241 aren't in stock anywhere! i seen where a guy on youtube bought some amazon bbc short headers and they worked with some light hammering. Does anybody know of another set of headers or maybe have a link to a set that might work?
2455 hooker long tube
68610 hedman, mid length
I've ran both, currently running the latter for more ground clearance , both need hammer modifications
And if you want to pinch some pennies..

Thank you sir. Btw it seems that they are not longer making the hooker header 2241 with the 2in primaries ill look into the 2455 and i was thinking about picking up a set of 68610. Not looking to spend big money on a set myself if anything I'll just spend a bit more money and setup the wagon for twins earlier than planned! 🤪2455 hooker long tube

Well jo-anns went outta business by me so I picked up to karts for parts around the house olds this 4l80e pretty nicely. Got the solid drop bushings in place for my wagon and got it down on the frame. Now to make sure I get things lined up for bolts
So I'm not the only one that had a shopping cart for moving transmissions around? 😆
Man black paint makes my first go around with body work so much better! Lol
Well I spent some more time on the wagon today. Tore apart the front end again and setup for the new parts that are coming in soon. Also was able to get the front coilovers setup for now waiting till I can put them in.
