Very nice and clean Build, do you know the part number on the headers you used ? And did they have any clearance issues around the trans or steering arm ?

I used the hooker exhaust manifolds and there are not any clearance issues. Here is a link for the Holley website, https://www.holley.com/products/ls_p.../parts/8502HKR

After driving the car quite a bit this summer I have noticed that the aftermarket gas pedal was coming loose. I have tightened the bolts but I am also considering tacking it in place with a couple spot welds. Any thoughts on if I should do this so the problem does not persist?

Any pics of your gas peddle? I am interested in how it’s mounted

There are two bolts coming through from the other side of the firewall that hold the gas pedal in place.

The pedal is now mounted with a couple of washers and loctite on the nuts. It now feels very firm and is much more responsive than it was before. It is a lokar gas pedal.
