However, might I suggest some MSD plug wires, they have poseable boots that allow you to bend the boot to the angle you need so that it stays of the headers. I've had them on a couple setups with headers and they work so damn good.
It is definitely getting there, still a lot of little things to finish up. The only reason I haven’t really taken it for a test drive, is I can not get the trans and oil cooler lines to stop leaking.

I may try MSD wires at some point, I was able to get a good deal on Taylor Thunderbolt, cut to fit wires. They have a 45 degree porcelain end and seem to fit very well. I am interested to see how they actually hold up.

The yelling is appropriate it looks awesome! I love the valve covers and the battery connectors what brand are they?

Thank you, I am certainly happy with the progress!

The valve covers are just Holley Tall Ls Valve Covers (Blues ones I painted) (Green ones are Powder Coated).

The battery terminals I stumbled upon while searching the internet for a terminal solution. They are made by Jims Machineworx, I will post a link to their website for anyone interested. They seem to have a lot of cool products. https://jims-machineworkx.myshopify.com/

Those battery terminals look awesome I hate side post batteries more than I hate undumped clutches, so those might end up in my stocking this year.

I really don’t understand why side post batteries are a thing, they are such a pain in the ***!

It was my goal to find a nice solution. Although people are definitely right, be careful with wrenches 😂😂.

I am also very surprised at how in expensive they were, and quality awesome!

Yes definitely have to be careful with the wrenches 😂😂. Only complaint is the hold down screw faces the fender so you have to tilt the battery to install, but once they are on they don’t need to come off so no big deal.
