Pro 1s? Sounds fast.

Who'd you use to coat the headers? Mine are all beat up and I'd like to get them re-done if it's not too much.

Re: Heres the progress

yeah well today i got my trans and my new heads i just bought a mufflex 4" exhaust so that takes care of everything besides the rear but im looking at one now its a ford 9" has all the brackets for a 3rd gen welded on and its got the center section ready just needs axles and possibly the brakes id assume but i am going to go probably 4:11 gear since the six speed trans gears.we shall see. anybody know what upgrades i should do to the trans so i dont break it im looking at about 500hp or just shy of it and a little more torque i assume a stock one ill break....any suggestions let me know....
