Stroker's 68 Barracuda

Did a test fit of the Super 6 manifold and whatever those 3 into 2 headers are that came with the car.

Laser cut the stainless piece to block off the EGR passage on the snout of the manifold. It'll be using a stock-style gasket there.

Also thrilled that even at .500" thick that water heater plate I made leaves enough room for the -8AN o-ring fittings above the header(s). I ended up having about 1.250" clearance and found a pair of 1" tall "low profile" 90° adapters from a company called DeatschWerks at Summit Racing. If you zoom in you can just barely see the blue anodized plate where the heat riser should be.

Also finishing up on the underhood section of the harness. Just waiting on some .125" DR25 heat shrink that I ran out of, but didn't realize it.

I 3D printed an adapter for the firewall to fill the square that used to house the stock bulkhead connector. It keeps the HDP connector phased in the right direction and holds it in place pretty well. I'll get a shot of that up soon.

I laid a circuit for fog lights in the forward harness and I'm considering getting a set of amber round LED fogs for mounting in the mouth between the valance and the grill header. Not sure about that yet.

Also made up some brake lines from the master to the combination valve. Just have to attach the fronts and rear to that now.
