Might need some tubing w/bends just in case you need to go around any xmembers.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: exhause questions

You prolly could but it may look odd hanging below the frame. I'd get an "s" bend put in the first pipe to bring it up along the frame. Just my 0.2

Re: exhause questions

not sure the make but they make header bolts that lock/don't loosen up
i've done them hot....snapped off a couple only to use the OxyA to heat up the area around the head, cherry red after welding a nut on the end
consider using brass nuts...... don't rust
