8.8 swap

Cut the stupid looking "ears" off. Wire wheeled the general area around it with an aggressive wire wheel to rid it of scale rust and dirt, then a quick shot of rustoleum primer. Looking much better IHMO. I will probably leave the one strengthening rib on the left side, but may still cut and grind off that nub sticking out on the lower corner on the left side.

I like that that does give it a sleeker cleaner look. Love the plug idea I saw that on hear a while back but didnt realize it was you that posted it I'm gonna do that for sure! I actually have a Ford tube vent somewhere if I can find it I bought it from napa for my truck when I replaced all the brake lines and hoses and they gave me the wrong one so I had to order a mopar one. I never took it back so its probably in my tool box if I can find it!
