As I said in my original post, only the front 2 are active. Do standard length work with 4-1 headers O2 bung location?

My check engine light has come on and off periodically in my L77. Consulting with my tuner he advised the O2 sensors need replacing and that only the front 2 where active. I have DPE headers, and wondered if anyone had a link to the correct ones? Do I need standard length, or longer ones...

I know my limits

I think it’s the water pump. What the damage on a mechanic doing that on a V6 you reckon? If it’s the case I’ll get it flushed properly

I just attempted this, and as I was doing the bleed I noticed coolant was leaking from the lower front of the motor. Could this be the water pump?

From memory 219/224/115 +2 advance, about 560 lift

Nope no idea, I’m not very tech. I just know it hauls like a scalded cat down low, and has good manners Enough for me!

I’m glad I went a little smaller at 219/225. Still has manners and low down torque

I bought a ozone machine when I had to sell my father in laws SRT that he had smoked in for 10 years. Cost about $400
