Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
This is still one of my favorite builds on here, I'm going to use some of your ideas on my 64 build I'm going to start soon.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Got the hood hinges in. I just need to weld the mounts to the hood and bolt it up.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks guys.
I had some time yesterday, so I mocked up the passenger side headers. I repeat, if you're going to do this, do it right the first time and make the mock ups, the jig and weld them up on the bench. It saves a ton of time. Now I know exactly what bends to order too. This header looks a little crazy but it's got to bend around the starter and A-arm pivot. They're not quite equal length, but should flow pretty well. The angle makes it look like they hang down past the frame rail, but they're 3 inches above the bottom of the oil pan, so if I hit the headers on something when I'm driving I'll have bigger problems.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Now there's a technique I haven't seen before. Inexpensive and easy to work with. Too bad it wouldn't take the heat, you'd be done!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I am purely intrigued by the build of the headers!
That is sooooo trick!... How good of a TIG welder are you? LOL! Do you have a set-up to fill the tubes with inert gas while welding? Do the tubes really need to be equal length? or is it more critical that the exhaust pulses reach the collector at equal intervals because of the firing-order to create a scavenging effect? Sorry for all of the questions!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Very interesting build. AS mentioned, watching you do the headers is wild!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I got the hinge mounts welded on to the bottom of the hood and mounted it up. Damn is that hood heavy. I can't wait to cut it into 3 pieces. Stay tuned.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Ha. Not after cutting the truck in half. I think I have it figured out. Now, if I can only find the time.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I got the rest of the tube in the mail yesterday, so I started on the passenger header. I'm going to tackle the hood mod after the headers are done.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks Gary
Yes, they're called Columbia River Mandrel Bends. Great stuff, but the "builder kits" leave you with about 1 header and a few left over bends. Not quite enough for a full set.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
And the other side tacked up. The good thing about the mock up is you can change it to make it smoother once you get it on the bench. The bend on the number 2 tube is to miss the lower A arm pivot and to go under the starter. The passenger side was a little more difficult because of the starter, but not bad.
