Ah. Finally...



The cardboard box looks like it held up a little better than the last

Now, the welder gave up the ghost, but will be fixed soon, need to get the show on the road.

Anybody in Florida wanting to get a discount on some N/A headers? I need a j body for test fitting

Yeah? I don't care where they come from, just need a car


The headers themselves are fairly easy with a mock-up engine, but there's going to be a couple of DP configurations that I can't do without the vehicle.

Since I need them on my engine as well, I started test-cutting the flanges today...





And a rendition of what they will look like finished...

More like a "block hugger". The goal is to make them semi-universal across a couple body styles (with differnt y-pipe/x-ove configurations).

Much like the headers I posted pics of earlier in the thread.

Yup. If we were comparing states.. it'd be like Indiana to Texas. The auto is much larger at the back side of the engine.
