Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Header size is 1 3/4" primary (may be a little on the big side), to 2" at the first 'Y', (2 1/8" was the right size for flow match to the 1 3/4", but good luck finding that), then to 2 1/2". I tried to keep primary length +/- 14", within 10%, and keep the secondary tubes about even in length. Honestly, this build is all about 'packaging'. I need to keep all this above the scrub line, away from steering, cooling, fuel, and electrics. Then plan to get the trans out without pulling the headers. Don't forget the starter, and the clutch slave. All of a sudden, I have no spare room.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Would it be worth the trouble to get a little more weight to the back by shifting the front wheels/wheelwells forward 2-3 inches? Maybe more clearance for the R&P. Would be better than moving the engine back a couple of inches.
Good luck,

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Score today. Yes, the truck is a 69, but, I found some 67/8 front sheet metal locally. The seller needed some rear axle parts, so I traded the 3/4T rear from the 69, and 150 bucks for a complete front group. OG white, some light surface rust, no dents. Guess I'll be running the slope nose. Good day.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
the big factor here was the frontal area. This doesn't matter much on an auto-x, but it starts comin into play at 80+ on the bigger tracks. The JT has the flat nose '72, and I can notice the wind buffeting on the hood at 60+.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Rob the frontal area is still the same between the 67/68 and the 69/72 front end sheet metal, just that the sloped nose cut through the air much better. I get that same hood buffeting at around 60 MPH in my 67, better reinforcement inside the hood is the only thing to help.
BTW No Limit got a great signage on the truck at the Grand National Show. What year was that 55, 56, or 57?

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
I've never had a 69-72 personally but I've had 2 67/68's (1987 - current). I have logged several miles in each most recently N2Billets StellaMae/71 stepside. I'm surprised @ the difference w/the 67/68 being quieter when driving down the road. The noise coming from the hood 'tin-canning' while driving on the hwy is easily noticed. There is a difference in that frontal area for sure.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
the axle is pretty wide, at 64" hub/hub. this matches the front, so I can use the same wheel/tire combo all around. the pinion is offset 1" to the pass side, to match up to the motor/trans.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Is the plan for @ least a 'glass hood for weight savings or did you find a carbon fiber source?
