He hadn't ever built a high performance 6 and had to laugh when he finally idled it down from the 2,000 rpm breakin and it has a slight lope at 650 rpm.
I've waited a LONG time to have a vehicle to put this in.

Very cool.
We used our BB version as a tow rig for the race car.

Header looks awesome. Small, long tubes will really help the torque numbers.
Most guys go way to big on the tubes.

Unfortunately, I sold those headers after I sold the truck. NOW I wish I had just kept them. Lost my ass on them at a swap meet. Not a popular part people are looking for...

Just got home. Unearthed a ‘70 Z that had been stored away in a Detroit garage for years. Pretty excited! More pics soon. This is the good side :-)
