Since I couldn't be at Class Nationals today. Just means I needed to be out in the garage (trying) to get something done on the car.

Started fitting the headers on the car. Headers on a Mustang II, suck! There's no other way to put it. I've used generous doses of Kroil on the manifold bolts this week. They came out without a problem. I really expected the bolts to be an issue. The passenger side will bolt up fairly easily. Just removed the motor mount bolt and raised the engine a couple inches. Header slid right up from the bottom.

Driver side is another issue. I have come to the conclusion that I need to remove the steering shaft. We tried every method we could imagine short of this, that header will not fit, yet. If I have time, I'll give it another go tomorrow. It's funny, there's plenty of room on this side. The passenger side is the tight one. Got to be that steering linkage.

We also got out our tach and gages. Not really good stuff but adequate for the moment. Found the gauge set at a swap meet in Indianapolis in March. Tod found the tach at a speed shop down south on their clearance shelf. Just need to figure out the spot for placement and fab up some brackets.

Also spoke with a buddy of mine today. He just happens to have a valve body for a C4. Another piece to help this project along.
