Headers look great Falcon! I'm with Roger on the sensor, the EFI cars I've done all got the O2 sensor in the collector.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Sounds good, Dave; that's what I'll do. I'll probably do a header wrap, too. Got the other side done today; not bad for my first header building attempt. Now I can pull the drivetrain back out, start smoothing my welds on the firewall, and getting it ready for paint.1 Corinthians 1:27

If I'm seeing this correctly, it appears the header pipes are wrapping around the steering box and column? Won't that add too much heat into the steering box, and with the pipes trapping the column, it might make taking the headers off a little difficult?

Yeah, Because of clearance I didn't have much of a choice but to go around the steering column with two of the tubes. I'm going to use a header wrap to keep the heat off the box. As far as removing it, I took off the steering wheel, unhooked the tie rods, unbolted the box, and slid it out the bottom. Then the header comes off. Not the easiest but it works.1 Corinthians 1:27

"...... I took off the steering wheel, unhooked the tie rods, unbolted the box, and slid it out the bottom. Then the header comes off. Not the easiest but it works......" Sometimes you do what you have to. The headers look good. regardless of whether it's the first time or not.
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Great work on the rust repair and the headers look awesome! What tricks are you going to use to weld the areas where tubes block the welder tip getting in there?Ryan

I tried to weld anything that would be blocked before I added the next tube and it worked out pretty well. I got the motor pulled back out tonight and finished welding everything on the headers except the O2 bungs. Now I'm going to get the engine on a stand and stick to the body until it's ready for paint.1 Corinthians 1:27

Yes, I do. It always sees to get pushed to the back burner but it's still going. I just wet sanded the primer on the hood and gravel pans; as soon as we put some paint on them the whole car will be painted. But it'll probably sit in dry dock until I get this one wrapped up.
Got some primer on the firewall today; now for a little wet sanding and I'll put some color on it.1 Corinthians 1:27
