Here is my 509 bbc. I made the headers on a frantic rush after a sbc to bbc swap and needing to get the car back out racing asap. Qfp 950 brawler on top

Think you'll make the move to a more conventional header arrangement in the future?
While I appreciate all of the aspects of the forward facing header something in my old traditional bones looks for the old school approach.
I didn't much care for the Super Comp version of the big block swap headers (as installed on the 86 TA/502 BBC swap) as they swoop out to the rocker panel area however seeing as that you can build your own....

Re: Post Your Carb'd Motor Pics

Its fun to tweak and tune.. with good gas I can push 15 lbs.. I've reworked the orig design enough to allow for the extra boost.. Did you also fit a Pontiac block into your 3rd gen?.. I used the RH battery box and stock 1980 wiring harness, all my stock gauges work.

What do have for headers on that monster MSgt? The 86 TA with the 502 BBC had (still has actually) Hooker Super Comps. Very difficult to manage on the bottom side.

Doug's went on the "fleet" 69 C10. Nice headers. And tri-Y too.

Stock air intake. Not planning on changing anything. This has a Rochester carb. I was surprised but this car is about as original as it gets

Export LG4 305. Edelbrock Performer 2101 intake, Accel distributor, M4ME Quadrajet, Lunati 420/443 cam, 1.5” headers. The air cleaner “just” clears the hood liner with the intake and fresh engine mounts.

If nothing else Matt, it certainly has curb appeal!

i built the new headers and full aluminum under-car exhaust in spring of 2020. I also recently built some tailpipes out the back at the end of last year. check out the video on the tailpipes here
