I always meant to make a nice one with some cool push-lock stuff or something. Sometimes US stuff is incredibly stupid :(

Looks good. I'm going to get my new daily VP auto built too, so it doesn't shit the bed before 200k like they all do.

Did you replace your valve springs when you did the rockers or are they still stock?

You should rebuild it yourself they are easy to do, the valve springs are 130lbs they were done when I had the motor built.

Yeah they are a nice bit of gear, it was cheaper for me buy mine and learn to weld than pay someone to make my exhaust :lol:
