    Worked on headers again last night. Sand blasted passenger header, reassembled it & marked it out. Went back to Driver header & straightened the #6 header tube out. Think it looks better!
    Now onto ripping out old sphere style steering system & installing something safer...[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    DubG and I finally got the rear end all buttoned up today. Except for the slapper bars. But that shouldn't be to hard. The street tires are the ones we have been running. Calling to order slicks Monday morning. 9.0" 28.5 tall on a 8" rim.

    Damn Jim, did you figure out the problem? Did you use sealed rings or conventional rings?

    This lower end is a 12000 mile used up 460 inch W motor that I am trying to make some upgrades on for the new season.
    It is going to get a hone job some new rings cam and heads.
    Then I hope it stays together.
