Thanks for all the info it has been a big help. The loom is coming along nicely and it is starting to resemble a proper wiring loom. I have tested most of the connections and they all seem to function properly, just need to finish the testing and wrap it up for install. Still need some of the plugs that were missing and melted.

Yes I've seen this but by the time it gets here landed it will cost a bit and take forever.
Went into Rare Spares yesterday at Prospect had a bit of a look. found some plugs and terminals that are the same. Also ordered some pins from Fleabay, for the plug that plugs the rear loom. Some of mine are broken and a couple of wires that should be in the plug are not. All here in OZ.
Now i think the only plugs that I need are the fan blower relay and the plug behind it. and only because they are partly melted. After that all should be ok ready to tape up. Even found the non adhesive electrical tape like factory. I have been on the net relentlessly looking for this stuff. Can't believe you can't buy it here but you can. You just need to look for it.

Anybody know where I can get Doug's side exhaust and headers here in Australia? If I am going to spend money on the exhaust I'm going the side pipe route. The headers I originally had on my car won't fit with the Borgasen box. They are more suited to rhd car. Didn't think the box was going to make that much diffrence on the left of the car.
I would consider a s/h set of lhd headers at the right money if any body has anything stashed in their shed that they may want to get rid of
Eg: Hookers etc

No SB headers
Did you offset the engine back to the RH side 1 1/4"

The engine bay is bone stock and has never been tampered with in that respect The Borgasen box is larger than the factory box.

I have the Borgeson box with B.B. and headers, it’s snug but has clearance.
I wouldn’t have thought the SB would have any problems. Can you post a photo

These are Hurricane headers designed for rhd c3 vettes.
The problem is the center two pipes drop down into a collector with plenty of room but the outside two pipes drop into another collector next to the other making them too wide...about 15cm too wide. The right hand side fits no problem.

I think kooks headers will work best only a guess though.

Never heard of them untill today. Did a bit of homework and they look like a quality item.
Thing is though for that kind of money I would prefer a set of side pipes even if it is a little more.
If I found a s/h header for the right dollars I would stick with the under car exhaust.
