Thank you Joe, I think that's a great idea. The engine should be getting pulled this time next month so I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row now.
I'm now trying to find info on bolt size from pulley extension to balancer as I think that is contributing to my wobble at idle.
I don't want to just slap some headers on and call it "good", so I really appreciate your time and effort with helping.

I will do some research regarding your suggestions on correct brackets and update with progress. I'm kicking myself for not taking better finished photos of floor after I cleaned and sealed everything but oh well

Thank you for the suggestion, I ordered the replacement chain and assembly today

Thank you for the offer scott, the previous owner included what looks like two encyclopedias of info about the 71
