I would have serious concerns about that manifold hitting something unless he has solid mounts all the way around...

Why, are you going to remove it and throw it at something?  

It is an interesting build and I am anxious for him to finish it.

It is very close to the firewall and raintray... that is why I said that, but he must have solid mounts...

What's with the chain?  Did he just drop that into the car or is he using it to keep it from torquing over and hitting the rain tray?

Or maybe he saw the traction the mailman gets with his chains and decided to make some drag tires of his own.

Wait a damn minute!  I just figured it out.  It is his timing chain, you can see where he is about to put it on.  Sorry for the confusion.

nice call, it is a 16v so its a good conversion since they are interference motors, probalby cheaper since you can buy bulk "timing" chain at homo depot

I think he has more work in his valve cover than in my whole Dasher.
