Been really busy lately with multiple projects, finally got my truck somewhat together

and i got some purdy parts 2 weeks ago

the headers are about 80% done, there all welded up and ground down, some were beed blasted to show flawes


and heres the plan to separate the headers over the trans tunnel

[bob442]

Thanks everyone! needless to say everything that i havent welded up will be tig welded up and some time will be taken to grind down all the welds and make it purdy.
Next i have to get 3 pieces of pipe stretched to fit into the cross over section so they can be separated, and then i have enough scrap material to try making a parallel merg collector 3 times to get it right lol

Really looking forward to the finish of those headers!

This thing is going to be killer man, I cant wait to see it done!

[bob442]

Thats going to be a threaded custom fitting, i've already forseen this problem before i even got 1/6th of the way into making the headers, along with 2 possibly 3 head sheilds for the master, rack and TB to keep it extra cool, and i'm looking for a good self adhearing insalation for the firewall.

Coil packs, and sensors are A-okay, the dip stick solutions are actually just turning them 180* and re-welding the mounting tabs for engine and trans oil. really simple fix

That's what I thought. You might have a hard time running the coolant line from the LIM to the firewal.

[bob442]

the LIM is on backwards, its the back, cant you tell from the valve cover? lol i think i'm going to re route #6 pipe i believe it is, drivers rear bank, its 6" to short from the longest pipe of the whole contraption

[Jonpro03]

Am I looking at the front or the back? The LIM would lead me to believe I'm looking at the front.

[GrandAmGTTT]

Nice, can't wait to see it finished

[Fireball]

This looks great man! I can't wait to hear it run.
Usually with W-body cars people take the l67 route, it's great to see someone doing something different!

[1QUICKHATCH]

looks good! should be able to set some records with it!
