Thanks! Well my downpipe reduces down to 2 1/2 and has a 2-bolt flange and my o2 housing is 3" with a 3-bolt flange. I already talked to mark and got a 3 bolt 3" flange from him. It still lines up pretty close so it shouldn't be that bad.

I have some FIC 1600's on the way.

I'm looking for 500whp maybe a little more. Internal wise I have BC 272's, MLS 4-layer headgasket and ARP headstuds. Everything else is stock/original with 71k miles.

Nice project.

That would be way more work than its worth. The manifold spacer was only 30 shipped. I already got 2 new gaskets and longer studs to bolt it up.

I actually only have a couple more things to get done. Just been busy and haven't had time to make this thread yet. I could have it running in less than a week, but I'm working on the little details. Spring dyno day is looking promising!
I went with a 60-1 cause it will spool around 4000-4300 which should help with some traction and I got a really good deal on the setup.

I figured it wasnt since it didn't have the DNP stamp on it and the collector didn't look very clean. I talked to the guy I bought it from about it and he sent me back some of my money. I have been thinking of either just running it for this year and selling it. Or just sell it right away and buy a FP manifold.
