No such thing as too much chafing protection, things move around a lot on cars.

Black wrinkle looks so good.

First, gonna throw out a recommendation for getting some studs for the manifold/header bolts, it is so nice having those to hang the headers on instead of trying to hold the header and bolt it down at the same time.

That top row, I think I have an engine ground strap run to at least one of them, but other than that I'm pretty sure I don't have anything bolted to them in my C10. Front holes are indeed for accessory brackets.

How'd that stainless nut on stainless stud work out in practice? Any issues there?

Haven't had any reason to remove them yet.

I did the exact same thing on the C10. Only difference is because I was also installing a radio in my Ranger at the time, it's a Ford plug (sacrilege, I know).

Also on that accessory drive, while I'm normally against running the steam line to the water pump (because if/when the pump needs to be replaced, now you have to redo that work) - if it's to a manifold that stays put and the pump is replaced separately, that's a really slick solution.

Oven cleaner works well, though I'd also call that good enough as it sits.

I plan on getting all my hose and fittings from RaceFlux as they run their own manufacturing and store so they've got some kickass discounts at certain price points.

Those look like drat good prices. Bookmarked for later use.
