Those ARP header studs were about $85. They really made it easy to slide the headers on though. I bought a lot of ARP bolts like the water pump, thermostat cover bolts, crank damper bolt, cam retainer plate bolts, cam sprocket bolts just for a personal preference.
Thanks for the compliment��

 

Love the forum, and Thank you for the Welcome.

 

Correct, it's the stock driveshaft. I'm having difficulty looking for Spicer heavy duty u-joints without zerk fittings. Searched the net, forums, Spicer's website and I think Spicer recommends measuring the diameter of the end caps and/or the diameter of the driveshaft. Might go with Neapco Brute Force u-joints instead. Had them on my GMT 400,and I liked them.

 

I was more worried about the 100mph speed limit of the shaft but good u-joints are wanted too with a lift like yours.

 

Some installation photos.

 

 

 

Is your true duals from the header back? I know and can see you have a y-pipe but the exhaust never meets together? correct?

 

Yes, it's a true dual. The drivers side pipe is routed under across the transmission pan,
where it appears to be a y-pipe. Each bank has its separate pipe that is routed further along the inner passenger frame rail, muffler, etc.

 

nice to see another lifted guy, welcome to the site
