After checking out the cut-aways thoroughly I decided to just gasket match, blend and get rid of a few bumps the old fashioned way. I was afraid I would break through....... :cheers:

Probably a wise decision...you're not building an all-out drag car...so why push it...?

10 hrs later, scratching himself and applying medicated cream to his sand flea bites your hero sits in front of the computer wondering how to exterminate the package sender. When all of the sudden he hacks up a chunck of cast iron from his lungs because of all the sanding and grinding for 10 hrs on the heads with no lung protection. At that very moment the sand fleas don't seem too bad any more............ :lmao: Any of you guys know what chiggers are?

If I would have gasket matched the exhaust the wall would be paper thin.....so I just brought them out a little and cleaned everything up. :thumbsup:Thanks

AZ Desert,
Did you use header or manifold gaskets to match with? I have seen manifold gaskets that are huge because the manifold casting is also big, a header can't even fill the gaps!

Unfortunately, YES!

Readers Digest version: I went swimming in my Uncle's pond in Mississippi. That won't happen again...
