Had some time today and my neighbor came over and helped.
Here's a few pictures.

Off to a good start.

 

Thanks. I guess ya go to start somewhere right?

 

Took the driver side header off and put the turbo header on.
Here's a few pics.
I'm very lucky to have a lift. I put the camera on my phone and stuck my arm up through the cross member to check for hood clearance.

1 More pic.
Probably won't have anymore for a few weeks as I need to take the 406 out and put the tpi engine in then have my buddy install the Manual master in.
Passenger side is a breeze, drivers side....not so much.
Darn Steering box and the booster kill me.
This will open up a lot of real estate for the exhaust if I want to hook it to the old 3".
I have to pu some WG's now too.

Very nice. Are they supported at all?

 

Not yet.
They are going to be right off the front of the heads.
Passenger side will come off the alternator pivot point and the driver side will go in the free bolt hole just under the valve cover.

 

Got the pan done last night. Now the oil pan can go back on the engine.
What a pleasure a 1 pc rear main seal oil pan is.
Just undo the bolts at tap and plunk it falls off!

Looking good!
I am also considering going with manual brakes on my car. Like you said it frees up a lot of space and it looks much better with less clutter.
