Mega fabrication, love the project. What are you using for headers? They show up around page 37 but didn't see where you made them or mention aquiring. Are they lower than the blowproof flange?

The headers are Stainless Works C5 parts. Got them off the Vette Forum for $150 because someone cut the collector flange lip off which was cool with me. They are way higher then the blowproof flange. Because they are for a torque tube they run a little tight to the transmission. In this car that's perfect because of the space limitations.

Thanks for the answer. High and tight is what I need for the same reasons you point out. Tried a set for a c6, they occupy the same space as the transmission needs to. Unfortunately didn't get a deal like you, my experiment was ordered from stainless works!

I did end up having to notch the blowproof due to the tightness. If you look at the Weld/Sutton build on here, it looks like the collectors fell in right about the same location.


This is mine

That looks like a winner to me! I've got a set ordered. Thanks for your help.

Speaking of looking good, picked up quarters today. I know they still had their long fins on there, and don't remotely fit the car yet, I still had to set one up there.

The glass work turned out phenomenal, I can't say a bad thing about them....... well except now I have to fit and install them.
