Phil, sweet as always.
What brand headers do you have, or are they custom pieces?

Thanks Cliff, they are Doug's headers. I am rally happy with the clearance at the steering box and they are nearly flush with the subframe underneath.

Phil,

I see you also have a Canton pan. Does it have a wind. tray on the bottom? Maybe a part#?

Thanks!

Hi Cliff-

It does have a tray, but the engine was assembled a few years ago and they "customized" what what was avail. at the time (i.e. I can't use a stock dip stick and I had to "clearance" the pan a bit). I believe there is actually a new (and better) tray available now that will circumvent these issues.

I have always had good luck with Butler Performance and they have a few tray options...scroll down this page:

If you are looking for one, I would give them a call and see what they recommend for your application.

Ok Phil, the stroker assembly and some other goodies under my hood are from Butler. I give them a call.

Installed the ProCar Rally front seats today. There are well made and VERY comfortable. I love the side bolsters and the adjustability (they fold back flat). The install was fairly easy. Per usual, some hardware was missing but they were all common bolts that I could replace. They compliment the interior perfectly and fit very well. They look pretty close to the console, but the bolsters actually angle up and just over the console. I wouldn't want them any closer, but the fit is very good. They are perfect for me, but I am only just over 5'8" and about a 38" waist. I would think anyone over 5'10" would need to do some "adjusting" to the seat adapters (I have heard of others having to do this). But for me, the fit is perfect. I couldn't be happier with them:

Great looking seats, Phil! Those seats look like they were orignally designed for that car. Keep us posted!
