John when you put your FLP's on you did have a oil cooler right? Now I knew going in that I would have to take it off, and thats fine. My question is did you just get two smaller bolts instead of the two with the extended "guides" for the oilcooler, or just grind them down?. If that isnt making sense, when you try to thread on the oil filter, it wont because the two above bolts are the same length as the tube you screw the filter on.

Besides some minor BS wiring and tubing, the oil snafu,is, the exhaust shop visit, and the injectors are the only thing keeping me from the finish line.

Rob when we did John's headers the two small bolts that your talking about we took them out and cut the ends off of them. And that cured the problem so the oil filter could screw on. Besides this how is the car going, are we going to get any news on your first fire up. Also are you going to video the first crank?????Good luck.

almost forgot we stuck the bolts in a vice and used a hack saw to cut them.

thanx Ryan, I figured thats what you did, but knowing John, he had some $50 bolts that were made for the swap (J/K John, geeez)
Anyway, thank god for the 'ol dremel, 10min later there was 5qts of valvolines finest swimming in the engine.

.........so close, oh so close.....
