I agree,
Have a bit of fun with it. DRIVE IT!!
I did the same thing with a 82 Mustang GT I had that I had swapped a 351W
into. Nobody made a complete system for it. So after I got the headers on
it, I had to drive it to the shop. Sounded AWESOME! It shouldn't hurt it a
bit, you're not going far and think about all those race cars with nothing
but basically headers on them..
