Here are some before and after pictures of my 1980 MGB where I modified the intake manifold so the stainless steel header can be used.

Nice job! (y) The 5 speed will make all the difference in the world, you'll love it! I just put a High Gear 5 speed in my 55TF and it's a totally different driving experience! I wish I had done it years ago. PJ
