Project Cheap & Nasty Updated With Back Story

There's a guy not far from you that was making them, he's a member here, he's down close to Savannah, username something like "69 340 6 pack".... (Maybe delete spaces? It's been a while since I've talked to him/ not sure on the name)
Good guy. I've bought 80s D150 parts from him before.
(Was my once in a lifetime trip to GA haha)
I think he has a water jet or something. He does those, and the underneath block off plates when not using the stock exhaust manifold.
Yeah those are nice. I've seen them. But this one is using the stock (modified) manifold. The block off plates he makes are too thick to use with the stock manifold. I guess you could do some milling.
