Got the manifolds off, most were bolts and some studs, its going to be tricky getting the drivers side. Going to the US in a week, really tempted to get new block hugger headers but they weight about 6.5kgs hmm.

Starting fitting the headers yesterday, the passenger side engine mount needed cutting away to fit the shape, the drivers side was a different story. The starter motor had to come off, gunna need to source a shorter one, the engine mount plate doesnt need modding but now i have the problem of the steering shaft is the way, after many heated hammerings to get 1 of the pipes bent in to go around the shaft it still doesnt fit good enough, going to have to machine the mani plate at a slight angle to when bolted on it pulls in tighter and need to get some 2.5" pipe and start welding :D

 

Also been looking at GPS speedo's which will do just fine unless im in the middle of nowhere lol
