But... Because that bolt can't be tightened down, it's still leaking. With the hood shut I can't hear it, but I know it's there. Took it on a rip around the block, she is okay. Guess the motivation to get this LS going now has another reason... Lack of exhaust leaks. This SBC was in the car when I bought it, who the hell knows what these headers went to, but they work aside from the fact of being unable to get to places on them. One of the spark plugs boots has seen better days, but it's because it's trapped between the head and the #4 primaries. Can't even get the #6 plug out with the headers on.
Can't wait to yank all of this crap apart and out and get it all cleaned up so I can do a swap the correct way and not hacked together like this one was. I fixed alot of issues along the way but without pulling it all out to correct some things, it's not worth it since the LS is already on the stand, just needs pulled down, gone through, reassembled and then put into the car. But with the LS swap comes alot of other necessary upgrades. (fuel, electrical, etc)
