February 17, 2008 - The header is in and looks very white.
I'm glad to report that it fits perfectly, right down to the angle of the outlet flange and the placement of the O2 sensor. Whew! I haven't fired the car up as I'm still reassembling it, but that's a big step ahead.
Meanwhile, the differential is back in - and this should be the final one. A Torsen with a 4.30 ring and pinion, just like I thought I'd installed almost a year ago. It fought me somewhat and I had to loosen all the bolts on the power plant frame to get everything to line up, but I did prevail. So the car's almost completely assembled now. Hopefully I'll be able to take it out of the garage for the first time in months next week.
