Allen,
Here's a suggestion for the pipes that has worked well for me.
Cut and flange your existing pipes, bolt together, and un-bolt the back half for competition or fun.
Just buy a header flange kit, weld to each pipe half and join with aluminum crush gaskets-which are easily re-usable.
Cut the pipes roughly 12" or 14" from the front wheel opening to provide a small 'collector' length-helps low-end torque. If you want to make work, make a pair out 'turn-outs' (with flanges) like mine to deflect exhaust outwards. Then bolt 'em up.
Simple, effective and quick to change at the track.

Get rid of those Felpro Printoseal intake gaskets, or you'll be swaping out the intake manifold down the road. Use Victor Reinz plain gaskets with Permatex Hylomar sealer on the intake gaskets. I had to use an SCE 1/8 thick gasket with the Weber manifold trimed to fit the intake ports.

Why thank you Allen... Works like a charm-in all respects.
Snakebit's advice is good except Victors aren't made any more. Ask Barry or Brent if FelPro has a steel core gasket for yer little motor-the ones for FE work super. I got 'em.
