Function over fashion, I like it. Coming along nicely.
I have those same head studs that can't seem to make their way on the engine.

Yeah putting studs in isnt nearly as fun as building piping!
Got it fired up. Has a leak from the 351-hotpipe vband, sort of expected. Flange warped a bit when welded, tried to flatten it out some on the disc sander but didnt want to take too much material away. Ill try some foil, maybe a copper gasket.
Sure makes the engine bay look complete

Its temporary until i round up some more piping to build the downpipe.
It makes for a good tuning tool also!

Ok, so not ruining your hood then? I know it's to each his own, just really liked this build so far, hate to see it ruined with a hood stack to retard wheels!

Awesome. Just awesome man.
I love the mid 80’s look you’re sticking with for the truck. What does this truck weigh?
