Roush cut them away to clear the turbo manifolds and down pipes in the back. He used factory pieces, flipped them upside down, the welded turbo mounts on them. Worked great, but required much more room than headers.

MCACN Woodward display? </div></div>

I do plan on getting SD to the Woodward Cruise. Possibly 2013.

Sorry Dicky, didn't mean to alleviate from the heading. I was asked for some pics, so offered them up.

The best street racing stories were written by legendary auto journalist Tony DeFeo of Cars Illustrated fame. You can still find him over at the H.A.M.B. under the name &quot;WhitePunkOnNitro&quot;.

I remember reading that article in one of my sister's old boyfriend's mags that he gave me.

I never did find out, but it always seemed that The Brotherhood never got their strip, right?

Whatever happened to that whole deal and Big Willie? I remember a couple articles about his Daytona, I believe, but never heard the whole story.
