I doubt that LeRoar will ever be done. It will always be in some state of reconstruction :-) I only have somewhere around 5,000 miles on the engine. Maybe less? Nothing wrong with it I just want to explore another option. Next Summer will be my last season of drag racing it. Then I intend to switch it to a long distance cruiser that will get some serious gas mileage. Fuel injection, gear changes, etc will be in the picture them. Provided I'm not totally broke :-)

Some headers have to be dented for clearance or just to get them where they belong.  In the world of headers this isn't too big a deal unless it is an all-out race car.

 

Looks like you are making good progress.  It seems to take forever and something always pops up to clean out your wallet even more.  But when you get it done. Its done.  Except for tires, gas and insurance.  I just hope gas doesn't triple or even worse before some members get their cars done.

Subject: Now I've done it :-)

Well today I managed to finish taking the engine out of LeRoar and all by myself. That is a feeling of accomplishment. I just took my time and kept plunking along. 

Now I can check the engine over. Detail things and wait for the new heads. I think I'll do up another set of valve covers. I want some yellow on them this time. I can clean up the engine bay too and be sure all my leaks are cured. Also I will modify the motor mounts per TTI's directions. I abused the pass side header badly by not doing this before. I'll include a photo of the dinged header.

When I put it back together I'll have Paul Lenneman come over and install the headers for me as I know it's his favorite job :-)
