Came out clean. You be sure to let us know how you like the sound of that muffler. Do the axles clear the pipes if you raise the car? Maybe some other things to check: keep the fuel lines as far as possible from the engine and headers. I slipped some armaflex tube insulation over mine (not the cheap polystyrene stuff) to keep the fuel line cool. Check the heat radiated off the exhaust over to your fuel pump. When the car is not moving (no air movement) then things can heat up and potential vapor lock. I got advice to drill holes in the thermostat. This helps bleed air out, but only drill one if you do it. I had 4 small holes and then it took a long time for my engine to heat up. I'm down to one and it still takes a while. Make sure all your metal fittings for hoses have a lip or rolled edge to capture the hose clamp. Don't want hoses to blow off. Just use water the first time to leak test, put in anti-freeze later. Will you be able to see your timing mark? Maybe I can think of some more stuff.
