Sometimes you don't get much choice when the headers gotta point the wrong direction

You got your work cut out for you.
Insane, but cool.

Those mandel bends are smooth.

Did you put the engine in backwards?

Good luck.

Its gettin Blown hehe

Shouldn't be too bad. Just remember, "Measure once cut twice", or is it the other way around? LOL

bigblock73 · 06-10-2005, 08:06 AM

Oooohhhh, can't wait to see how that jigsaw puzle turns out. Be sure to take lots of pics!!

Good luck & we are all (I am sure) anxiously awaiting pics.

87 Shortwide · 06-10-2005, 12:41 PM

Oh don't worry Jeff, I can't wait to get started on these suckers!

I keep getting a little more into ideas every day. In fact, here before too long it's going to go frame-off for a few days so that I can get the details underneath the body the way I would like them

I should also be getting the intercooler on order this weekend maybe, so I'll have a picture of that up asap.

Here's a little motivation for ya. These started out the same as yours....

87 Shortwide · 06-11-2005, 05:42 PM

Those...well yea, they freaking ROCK. haha. Fortunately, mine will be a little more simple, seeing as they will only be shorties. However, I am fairly anal about how things look, so I'll be trying different things to see how creative I can get with the layout of the tubing, not just a Log style header.

87 STEPPER · 06-13-2005, 09:23 PM

Hey '87,

Are those tubes thick wall enough to hold up to the extream pressure and heat of a turbo set up?

I can't take any credit for that. My buddy Keith (n2billet) and our friend Roger built that car, and those headers. 1FaastC10 is correct. I don't have the time or patience to do it myself any more.....
