Maxx its not that big of a loss i paid 90 dollars shipped to spend another hundred dollars to try something is not that big of a deal and if it works ill post and if not ill steer people away..... The cracking issues is very possible and being its brand new less chance it will since most people tend to welded used and abuse cast parts they well crack
during my oil change the land lord told me I cant have the car up anymore. So thats going to be it for a while as far as messing with the car. He had been watching but his boss finally told him I coudnt doit.
update* the down pipe is holding strong but I am going to go away from the v-band clamps mine leak a tad. But other wise all is well. Looking foward to getting the new Pope mani in the future. For thoughs who are attempting this remember patience is needed also grinding that bolt hole on the block is crucial as well as shaving down the oil return fitting on the block. Good luck and spot yall later..
Ahh not that bad really. I knew when I did this I would run in to trouble later. It give me a chance to change out a few things. I already got a plan for this so no worries.
