It is ******* cold, I will not help. Just a fair warning. There will be a fire in the fireplace if you need to thaw out.

Happy Friday!!!

Long Tube Headers going on this weekend! Kind of excited for that, never tackled a project this big before. My Z's have all been learning experiences.

How's everyone doing today? Work has finally calmed down again, new ISO9001 system is written, Engineers are no longer interrupting me every few minutes with inane questions born from a lack of real world experience... ahh it's a good day. Company party tomorrow night with free food and booze!

Good luck, man! That looks like it is a bitch of a job.

I expect it to be a pain, but I've got a friend with a lift helping out, and he's done this before (albeit with a 350). The lift will ease some of the annoyance of the process, and hey, its MOAH POWAH!
