1-piece bonnet? I hope that chassis is a bit stiffer than a Triumph's! With all that torque, I can just imagine it twisting as you rev it. You'll have to post us a video -WITH AUDIO! or JUST the audio, -yes, yes, YES! Woops!

Am still restoring/modifying the car it's in

Back in the day our Olds Cutlass Supreme did 8 to the gallon on a run and 4 round town.

It was a very entertaining 4 though!

ZedTeeT - those headers are indeed a tight fit but have at least 1/2 inch clearance at the tightest points

And Mike Noc - those headers are actually for an Olds Cutlass but fit perfectly in a Pontiac Firebird when you fit a big block Oldsmobile engine in it.

And Comfortably Numb - that engine does indeed make a great noise through those headers and Magnaflow stainless exhaust system
