Found some garage time this weekend, mostly getting this picked up, organized before I leave for a work trip, but was able to put in a little time on the v8 car. Yanked the engine out so I could start remaking the one header runner on the passengers side that I didnt like....I was going to create a weird spot in the firewall, so I wanted to give it a new route
The runner that drops down below is the one being remade, it just kinda bothered me

Not the best photo, but you can see the green tape, that is the new runner in the making, its going to drop down in that gap and snake back up from under runner #2

Also picked up some "treasure" a couple weeks ago, found a guy on marketplace that was selling off some 4.2 engine parts, in this photo you see the upper and lower oil pans, then the galley cover for the top of the engine, this part was a great find specifically so I can now start planning how to adapt for an remote oil filter and oil cooler sandwich plate, the last part is just an alternator bracket, I've already modified mine, so an extra was a good pick up for $10

As mentioned leaving next week for a two week trip to asia for work, hopefully when I get back I can get back on this car and start making some progress.
