Both headers are done & on the car for Ron to come check out.. The Kooks headers were a pretty good product to work with..

Yeah, I guess I'd have a motor program too if I had unusally large cubes, C5R heads and multiple cam sponsors! :thumbsup:

The brackets should be in early next year. Maybe we'll call your friend together and see what he can do!

Thx Jeffio! I'm digging your sheet (metal) also....:thumbsup:

Them there be some nice headers buddy!

Meanwhile, back in Oxnard, CA…Cris is pounding away at the punchlist, and as he posted yesterday the headers are welded up. There’s still a little to finish, but I’m pretty happy with the way they came out. The issue has always been that besides AME there’s not much out there for a good fit for their sub and motor mount system. Sure, they make a nice piece but it only comes in 1 ¾” and I wanted 1 7/8” loooong tubes. Frank has been working on a Stainless works 2” set up, and that’d be great if I was building a drag car/motor. So months back I got a set of Kooks unwelded. The plan was always to chop and reweld to fit and that’s what Cris did.

As you can see, they protrude a little ( ~ ½”) beyond the side and bottom framerail, but I’m cool with that.

Also, Cris’ oil pan fitting was a hit and there’s plenty of clearance there too –

Cris is moving onto finishing the firewall fab and bodywork it so we can (hopefully) start reassembly! I’ll also run by the motor shop next week and post some specs/pics.
