      M50 ARPs and a VAC .070" MLS headgasket.  Mine no longer leaks after torquing it down to ARP spec instead of OEM how I first did it.  I also had the head resurfaced as well.

                    Worked on it more tonight, all that's left really is bleeding the brakes and adding coolant. The harness will stay a mess until I'm comfortable with how it runs

                    Also, lets play a game. What costs less than $1, takes 45 minutes of work, and gives you dis angle?

                          I know!   I spent a lot of today going back over everything and making sure important bolts were loctited and torqued, plugs were still plugged in, and that it still had oil lol.

                                  Well Im never going to wash the car.  Thats what I meant.  I want the bay to look somewhat presentable since I might not have a hood on most of the time its driving.  Dirty car, clean bay.

                                      Clean front and rear windshield for sure!  Rain will keep it clean for me though hahah.  Its not worth washing.  Its a $500 car built to hit walls and break stuff.
